Hi Karel,

I had found that one too.   They said it had been fixed in
7.0, so I though the problem was mine, but apparently
there has been a regression.

Since SL 7.3 is about to hit and RHEL 7.3 has been around for
a while, I will report this to Red Hat if SL 7.3 does not fix it.
This to keep them from being crabby if I report it on a
previous version than the current one

Thank you for the help!
