Sorry, I've been away on a narrow boat holiday.
But dont you have all the information to replicate the observed errant
behaviour yourself?
Namely repeated, interleaved use of OvPro and Variations will
guarantee a line of lixels (and an error from one or other app if you
continue) all by yourself?
I am just a messenger with no knowledge of the inner workings of
whatever it is that might be going wrong, it seems to me that you have
more relevant knowledge than do I on this subject?
