Re: [Modules] Switching the version of a sticky module?

[Xavier D. <xav...@gm...>]

Many thanks Adrien for your report. What you spot was actually a
specific bug of stickiness reloading detection with virtual modules.

Ticket #506 [1] was opened to work on this issue. It is now closed and
the fix will be part of version 5.4.

Regards,
Xavier
