Tags only trigger builds if they are tagged on master

GitLab version 8.3.3.

It does not seems as if builds (defined in the .gitlab-ci.yml in the branch) are triggered if I tag a commit on the branch. It works fine if I tag a commit on master.

Added ~19173 label

mentioned in issue #4263 (closed)

@hkratz Is that problem with failure from GitLab Runner?

@hkratz Can you check if this problem still apply on 8.5? We use this functionality extensively internally.

Milestone changed to 8.6

mentioned in issue #13559 (closed)

I can no longer reproduce this in 8.5. Seems fixed.

Status changed to closed

I have the same issue in gitlab 9.4.3...

my_step:
  stage: deploy
  script: 
  - "doing  stuff"
  only:
  - tags

My project's pipeline triggers 'my_step' when I create a tag from master. But not from another branch or any other commit...

Should I open another issue as this one seems to be fixed... ? :/
