Reporting Module deserialization error

Ignition
1

I have just upgrade one of our systems to 7.8 and started in on the new reporting. When i try to open screen with new report viewer on it i get the following error. I have tried this on client running 1.8.60,1.8.21,1.6.15 and they all do the same thing. Server is running 1.8.6. Have tried this with blank report and with converted report both with same result.

ERROR [WindowCache-AWT-EventQueue-2] Unable to open window “Report/Alarm/Chronology Test”.

Can you get me a SSCCE that replicates this problem?

I am on site in SA and internet connection speed is not allowing me to upload stripped down gateway so. All i have to do to reproduce the error is on a clean gateway.
create project with window and button pointing to second window with report viewer on it.
Then create test report with nothing but start and end date on report.
Point report viewer to this report.
in designer i can see everything fine on the second screen that has the report viewer on it.

When i run published i get the error and when i run client on different machine i get same error.

This recreates the error on the clean gateway.
Also this clean gateway is on different machine for original gateway having same issue.

Thanks for the added info. I was able to replicate the issue when launching some clients. Have a fix that will be in the second release candidate. Appreciate you taking the time post the trace.

Thanks perry
Do you have timeframe for rc2 release?
