IPointerUpHandler not triggering

Today I tried implementing that Interface. But when I release the mouse button, the event is not triggered. However, when I implement the IPointerClickHandler, the UpHandler starts working … Is this intended ?
Thanks

E: When I press the mouse button when over a different gameObject than the one I release the button on, the IPointerUpHandler event is not triggered either.

The OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData) is called if the eventData.pointerPress is set to the same object prior to calling OnPointerUp.
