I sure as hell do not know about that although I consider that to me a potentially serious problem...
1# We can rule out that the fluke would be created solely due to a message window bug. 2# It happens in D8.5 but not in D8, which rules out that it is purely an Xtra bug (cuz if it was the xtra then it would f-up in D8 i guess...) Which leaves a few questions: (i presuppose that the D8 test was done on the same machine as the D8.5 test and that the version of BuddyAPI is also the same) - can you reproduse it after a boot? - Test it in runtime. Does it produce the same result? - Can you test it on another machine? What happens? - can you find something equal happening with any other Xtra? This could be an Director - Xtra interfacing quirck or something purely director. Pekka P.S.
