Unfortunately, I opened the issue and didn’t add all the details. Was filling in the description, and in the meantime, the issue got closed. That was way to quick of a response I wasn’t expecting.

Hi @artivilla! Sorry about that. We get a bunch of issues opened without any details and no response so we usually close them out fairly quickly but not to fret, we can just as easily reopen them 😄
