@szemy see #4784. In general it's better to open a new issue, it's easier to keep track of them.

[szemy]

Ok, sorry for that. Should I open a new one?

[jaimeMF]

No, one is enough :). The problem is that comments in closed issues tend to be lost, if you open a duplicated issue there's no problem, we will just tell you.
You can subscribe to the issue to recieve a notification when it's fixed.
