Hi Stephane,

Please don't use the nightly build unless you are looking for a particular feature that hasn't been released yet. The nightly build is used for development only and may not work at all. We can't accept bugs filed against the nightly builds.

Please try again with the officially released builds such as 1.0.x or 1.1. Thanks.

Endi
