Thanks for the speedy response OscarV - sorry to hear this persists after an advanced re-install too.

May I reach out to you via email to work on this together? If you'd like to, you can also log a ticket from your end and let me know the ticket ID so I can get my hands on it. 

In either case, please keep me posted.
