Hello Roberto,
As you suggested, I took my laptop at work and tested with the wifi there.
I reproduced the bug also there.
I don't know if I can reproduce it with any wifi network but at least it is
not particular to my home network only.
Let me know what I can do next to find the cause of the bug.
Thanks, best regards,
Laurent
