Bug description:
Hi,

I have trouble using MixedFunctionSpace. Basically I want to project a function to a subspace of a MixedFunctionSpace:

   from dolfin import *
   mesh=UnitInterval(10)
   U = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
   V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
   W=U*V
   f1=Function(W.sub(0))
   f1.vector()[:]=1.0
   #f2=project(f1, V)   # This works!
   f2=project(f1, W.sub(1))  # This doesn't!


The output of that script is attached to the end of this question. Now, the confusing thing is that the projection works fine if one projects to V instead of W.sub(1), although they are mathematically the same spaces. 

I hope I haven't missed a similar question already reported. 

Best wishes,

Simon
