@kmahajan-cadfem - with which version did this start to happen? If it is just the last time minor one (0.5), could you move back to 0.4.X? We are investigating in the meantime

I have the feeling that the changes done in #479 are the ones causing it...

Ah... I just saw that the report also applies to 0.4.2. Thanks @kmahajan-cadfem
