For what it's worth, I'm not knocking the business model nor whining.  Oracle 
has a product of value and puts resources into maintaining and improving it.  
You mention I get what I pay for.  In my case, I get more than what I pay for 
since I don't pay anything.  I was just pointing out that while it is fixed in 
a maintenance release, that didn't really fit my circumstance.

Nonetheless, a workaround was offered which works well and I am grateful.

To be fair, I do add some level of value to Oracle.  My company recently 
aborted a VDI rollout using a competing solution for 100 seats with the intent 
to use it as a proving ground to rollout to thousands of seats spanning three 
continents.  I had pointed out early on that Oracle has a VDI solution which 
would easily cover the problem areas identified early in the process.  While I 
didn't change the outcome, I was a voice.


This was only possible because I have familiarity with SRSS outside of my job.
