----- Quote: ----- "Filipe, Thanks very much for looking at this, I'll get one of our guys to check out the code and put it on one of our servers, we can normally tell pretty quickly if its working or not. Will let you know the results Stephen" ----- But I can't find any further informations regarding the final fix of this bug. Maybe it's targeted for 1.0.2 ...
