When I get home, I'll try to reproduce it on my CT60. However it would help if you could confirm that at least *some* build worked - i.e. take a random build from 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and try at least those. Although on Milan there's a catch as for a year there was this regression of mine which I had introduced. I'm on my phone now so can't check the dates but it's still worth doing the tests - even if you say 2021 was ok, 2022-2023 showed the regression and 2024 already has the warm boot issue. Led Blur: I'll prepare a build for you today with some debug outputs (I'm hugely sceptical but we shall see).
