Hey Simone, The same problem seems to be happening in the map detail view where local layers don't get linked correctly. It is specially harder after the IP address has changed.
We need to approach this problem from a more general point of view but I don't feel too confident about these heuristics if we don't have associated tests. How would you feel about writing some with the relevant scenarios? Thanks for tackling this!
