thank you:) Can you assign the issue to me?

[biboudis]

Feel free to work on it but if you feel that you don't want work on it anymore or it takes a long time (let's say more than a week without progress), don't fear the "Unassign me" button. This mark this up for grabs for others as well! First step, try if its still reproducible on master.
