This is also very similar to #10977.

Wonder if #11394 will resolve this? I'll try to test it.

@samhouts I've been trying to test this, but I think I need to build nugets and then use them against your repro project. But I've been at a loss to to figure out how to build the nugets locally. I've tried the .create-nuget.bat without success. I know there were instructions somewhere to create your own nugets, but I'm not finding them.

Could you point me in the right direction or suggest another way to test? I've tried @PureWeen s Sandbox, but I can't get the original repro to fail after I copy enough code into the sandbox to re-create, so I can't validate the fix.

Thanks!

I can confirm this is still broken on 4.7.0.1179

on 4.8.0.1187-pre2 I get this though...tried a couple of times to be sure

update: this was just caused by the Windows Target not being 18362

@PureWeen Thanks for that link, worked great...I'll add that to my XF toolbox!

#11394 Does appear to resolve this issue also.
