[Gmsh] Adaptive meshing with background mesh

Hello,
I made a mistake while creating the ParabolicProfile.pos attached to
my previous post. I defined the parabolic function and then I applied
the 'warp' plugin, which was not a good idea. Warping results in a 3D
surface with nonzero z-coordinates and meshing a plane disc with this
surface as background mesh generates the error messages about 'No
element found containing point ...'
Unfortunately, gmsh still ignores the characteristic lengths set in
the *.pos file and meshes the circle with uniform mesh. Does anyone
have the same problem as me? I'm stuck since I'd like to make some
locally adapted 3D meshes and this feature seems to be broken even in
2D.
Best regards,
Martin Vymazal
