@ Philip Susi you are right.

@ Michael Biebl you are also right. So this is a user error.
Down-grading it now, will revert and see if it works or not.  As
Philip shared, if you had told or asked me then I wouldn't have an
issue with you closing the bug-report but as there was no proper
explanation I was left bewildered as to what I did wrong.
