I've had a fairly recent issue occur where loading any component from a specific project on a specific gateway in Designer is consistently rendering incorrectly. The same project on a different gateway is rendering fine. Another strange thing is, this seems to be at the gateway level. I was able to have another user on a completely different machine replicate this exact same behavior. I've recorded myself trying to show off this issue. Has anyone ran into this before?

You can bump, but if nobody else has seen this or has any suggestions then just contact support instead. ---

I will give it a little bit longer. But I will definitely take that advice though lol
