I have an issue where if I disconnect an open client from the network, upon reconnecting to the network the client menu bar greys out and cannot be selected. Everything else in the client window updates properly. This not so much a problem on a desktop but a PITA on a laptop. It forces the user to close the project and restart.

Same thing just happened to about half my clients.. nothing of interest I can tell from the gateway logs.
