Hi Marcel,


under normal constraints, I would also not recommend turning off this preference. But I can imagine that it might be helpful for debugging purposes, for instance, if you want to test the behavior for another platform ...


Best,

Christoph

I am surprised that such a preference exists since it is an implicit contract to always write code that runs on all supported platforms.

We should remove this preference ASAP. It is misleading.

Best,
Marcel
