Please, fix it if you can. Or tell me how to workaround this.

Hello ,

After doing some digging I found that this is a known issue (UE-15951). It has been sent to the developers for further consideration. Upon further investigation it appears that this issue has been resolved internally. This solution will be available in a later release of the engine. Thank you for your time and information.

Make it a great day
