Asymmetric D-former action with Genesis 1

This problem is driving me crazy.

I'm using the D-formers with Studio 4.6.0.18 to make some distortions to Genesis 1 body.
The problem happens with arms and legs, between left and right.

I create two separate d-formers, absolutely identical but from the x-translation parameter that's with different sign, positive for left and negative for right, as to get perfect symmetry.

When I create them, the effect to the body parts is the same, as expected, but when I save them and try to apply them again (no matter if on the same or different bodies) the right distortion is greatly amplified, while the left is correct.

What is even stranger, despite the right d-former looks much stronger, the parameters are exactly the same of the left one, that is, exactly as they're supposed to be!

I really can't understand.

Here're two sample pictures.

Before applying the d-formers...

... and after. The difference between right and left is apparent.

Same happens with arms. Right is always stronger than left, despite parameters are identical.

Someone can help me to work it out?
Thanks

    Do their fields overlap at all? Could you post a screenshot of the setup, or the preset itself?

    I see the same issue - please make a bug report (that is, open a tech Support ticket) and attach your presets. It seems to be an application order issue - saving both DForms to a single preset doesn't show the problem. It's almost as if the strength is being doubled up - as if when the second DForm preset is applied DS is also reapplying the first.

    As a workaround - select Genesis (with the asymmetric DForms applied) and open the DForm pane, click remove Node(s), select both DForms and click Accept, then click Add Node(s) in the DForm pane, select both DForms and click Accept.

    Thanks a million, Richard! Very effective workaround.
    After this "cure", if I save again the d-former it applies correctly afterwards.(*)
    I guess this little annoyance is more than acceptable.
    BTW, how can I open a Bug Ticket?
    Best,
    Giorgio

    (*) EDIT: This is not always true. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Very strange. This is definitely a bug that worths a notification.
