[Cuis-dev] Mystifying Cuis issue

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the Cuis community!

Have you been able to replicate this? If so, can you detail the steps so 
others can reproduce it? In general, if we can reproduce a problem, then 
we can fix it. If not, it becomes more difficult!

Cheers,
