Still the same using the docker image I just pulled, but seems not to occur for the real-exponential model. I opened an issue in the git and hope you can resolve it!

Thanks for the quick reply,

This seems indeed like a bug. I suspect it has to do with the "real-normal"
model. Can you open an issue in the website with the above example so I can
keep track of this and fix it?

Could you also test this with "real-exponential" instead of "real-normal"
and also with the current git version?

Best,
Tiago
