Hi Ferdinand,
thanks for the quick and detailed answer, even trying to find workarounds. I had hoped, I could spare you this extra effort by saying, that it's no functional issue on my end.
I am already satisfied with the confirmation. Often it is enough to be able to stop worrying about my own mental integrity.
And while this new behavior certainly will not improve performance, I can happily ignore performance issues beyond my own responsibility.
Regarding the GeDialog stuff: No worries, either. As mentioned back then, no future fix/solution can help me there and I went down a different route to get the project done with support for R19 to present. Yet, I'm thankful for your tenacity and that the issue is still being researched. Some meals simply need time to develop their flavours.
Thanks and cheers,
Andreas
