I can't reproduce reliably (but that's the same for Matt and Flo) however I think this is annoying enough that we should fix

do you think this can be an external issue?

@adelekennedy Yes, it's external. However, I am unable to reproduce it.

same - however both Flo and Matt are able to reproduce intermittently so I think it's worth it to fix as it's a pretty frustrating one
