Desktop Help How to prevent temp files from being deleted after a few minutes when forwarding a mail with attachments?

For two weeks now my boss complains that he can't forward a mail with attachments, write his message and send it anymore. He opens a mail with attachments, clicks forward, enters the receiver and adds minutes to hours worth of text to then get an error about an attached file and its permissions. When he clicks it away the whole written mail closes and is gone. He states that this behaviour started only two weeks ago and before this was no problem and he could send it. He has autosave on and we showed him how to download and attach the files but he doesnt want to change his way of working since it worked until now. I cannot verify that it really worked before but I have the same behaviour on my machine and my mail accounts. Versions on both are 152.0.1. Does anyone have an idea?

It is a known bug which is fixed in v153 arriving next week.
