Yeah, this is a known issue and the development team has been notified. Thanks.
jeez , I can’t believe I’ve wasted my time again 
It has to stop 
that brings up another question- Is there a public list of ‘known issues’ anywhere?
it’d be nice to have a list like that, and if possible, a workaround for each issue where one exists… just curious
I’ll mention this to the team.
