Are you still seeing this issue?  If yes, I think to progress here we
would need you to follow the steps indicated by Eli above in order to
find out more.

If I don't hear back from you in a couple of weeks, I'll just assume
this is no longer an issue and close this as unreproducible.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
