There are issues here, see

But I usually don't go through the repos - I grab the .deb right from
downloads.slimdevices.com and it was there right after the
announcement.

No, that should be fine then.

It definitely helps, but it isn't an absolute requirement.  If you
can't reproduce it yourself and you know what you're looking for, the
chances of the developers reproducing it are even lower.  This is why
logs are so important, although figuring out which set of debugging
flags to set can sometimes be tricky.

Intermittent issues are the worst!

That's because I've been there, done that and have the T-shirt.  :-) 
Seriously though, there are a LOT of settings in SC and it's easy to
misplace one.  You're right, your issue is unlikely to be a
misconfiguration, but it bears repeating.  You wouldn't want someone to
waste a lot of time only to find out that it's a setting you missed...

It definitely is, especially when you can only come up with broad,
general terms to use in your search - those seem to be my sorts of
issues as well!  Just give it a shot and put in an effort - if it does
end up being a duplicate, at least you tried.

You're welcome!
