Recall Action Product Defect Correction
Recall Action Instructions Siemens is preparing a correction to rectify this issue. In the interim, users are advised to always use the standard report creating options of syngo Workflow MLR Classic Client:

2. Type content in the report editor.
3. Use auto text module to speed up the reporting process.
4. Only copy/paste from ASCII view of prior reports in syngo Workflow MLR Classic Client.
