Hi, I can't reproduce this issue using lastest stable version. Probably #633 fixed this issue.

[D3DeFi]

@mu1f407 thanks for looking into!

@latam-cse-dev do you still experience this problem yourself?

[D3DeFi]

Issue inactive for a longer period now. I would assume that the comment from @mu1f407 was correct.

If you think otherwise, please feel free to re-open
