Copied connection on 8.0.3 causes opens to original connection

I copied a connection in RDP 8.0.3 in order to create a work environment with different library list. I used to create different profiles and connections but had troubles with properties being copied.

The new connection opens just fine and sets the library list correctly. I open my filters and open a member (using default RSE filters for Aldon filters) the member opens. When I hover over the editor tab the location reports the member was opened using the original server connection not the newer connection.


Use Case:

Every day work. With Aldon we are allowed to isolate development longer term projects with change libraries specific to that project (or release for Aldon). Having the ability to create a connection based on the setup for an Aldon release scenario improves development time in RDP.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain your issue with our product.  This issue would be more easily resolved by opening a Problem Management Record (PMR) to ensure that we have the diagnostic information needed to resolve this issue.  For more information on opening a PMR, please see:
