Maybe a bug Aug 26, 2017

Hi Anne,
I think I saw a bug report about this but thought it was fixed in 5.1. Are you using the latest version? Can you submit this feedback via the Help tab > Feedback icon? Someone from the development team with more knowledge about this will get back to you.

Kind regards,
John
