Because I had this issue several times during the last hour I' am courious 
if you had time to look into it and if you have an idea how this could be 
fixed?

Please let me know if you need more infos about the problem or if I can help 
anyhow to get tis fixed. Shall I open an issue on Github for a rminder on 
this problem?

Ciao and thanks for your great work,
