Great, right for this answer we took 10 days. :-( Sorry for the delay,
"staff" is not that big at the moment.

Sounds definitely like a bug. Unfortunately without a reproducible
test case we won't be able to solve that problem.
So, as I am reading you can currently not see any pattern in when this
happens and when not?

Non-the-less it's good you posted it, because others will surely have
the same problem.
As said before we just need to be able to track it down to a simple
test case. Otherwise we could try to change something, but can't say,
if that fixes the problem.

Ok, sounds like only the Net panel is involved. If so, that would
already narrow the area to search a bit.
Maybe the event, that the request was loaded completely, is not
triggered for some reason.

You're welcome!
