Message-ID: <a8e69eac41e747f79f8aba335f995d69@rohde-schwarz.com> (raw)

I had the problem with version 2.7.4.
The problem is fixed in self-compiled v2.13.2.533.ge0aaa1bed, v2.12.0, v2.11.0 and v2.9.3! Even the older version 2.1.4 does not have that problem.
Thank you for the input!
Robert

Yeah there was a period in time where we had this bug.
(Or is it a different bug?)
See 90c0011619 (submodule: use absolute path for computing
relative path connecting, 2016-12-08), which is included in 2.12.
