How long ago were you having problems with it? I've heard it's been a lot better in the more recent years.

I believe this has changed in recent years due to similar hiccups, and their reliability in prior years was previously good.

that kind of thing has been available for a while now and it hasn't really been an issue. it's only in the recent environment that it's been _this_ bad.

It did in the past. It's so buggy these days.

Sorry that happened, it's not perfect and sometimes things go wrong. If this was several years ago, things have improved a lot since then.

I believe they've had problems with this earlier.

Yup - has been flawless for years but feel like recently there have been more and more issue.

I remember hearing about issues like this and I agree things are probably better lately after some fixes.

This used to be a problem but it's been unheard of for a while

Quite a bit of discussion on a year old issue but.. its still not resolved? That doesn't instill confidence.
