I've been at my computer both times it's happened to me, so if there was any lag between me getting the alert and manually querying EF, it was 2 min at most. Unclear if this is a glitch with EF, the GDS, or elsewhere.
Why would this indicate a glitch, as opposed to AA just opening up some C space and then clearing the list into it?
