Dropbox StaffHi witek-27400, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Keep me updated with any progress!
I think I have tried and failed. Finally I have found a workaround for the problem... but I can test it for you if you want. Tag me, so I know it is important - I will try to recreate the problem.

Glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping us in the loop too witek-27400
