Hi Chris
If you can confirm the symptoms as only occurring when application data is
redirected and the behaviour is reproducable, it's probably worth logging a
support incident to have it looked at. If these aren't the specific
symptoms, you'll want to examine the logging I mentioned earlier.
Kind regards
