We just uploaded 2.0.4, the latest upstream released recently.

Do you still experience this problem?

If yes, it would be niced if you opened a bug upstream (or link to an
existing bug) so we can track the progress.  We could open the bug for
you, but ultimately you would need to communicate with upstream
developers if they ask you questions about models, or to perform some
checks, etc.


Cheers.
