Hello, we're still experiencing this, also with build 2382, and unfortunately we can't find any culprit besides cvsnt for this weird behavior. I'm gonna temporarily control user actions to avoid incomplete tag operations, but i'd really like to understand more, also to report better and help you fix this. Is there any bugtracking on which i can open a entry for this issue?
