  Validate Rule and directly hit OK and save , the rule is not
  saved ( this occurs 80~90% of the time )
  
  When adding a new routing rule through the console, hit
  Validate Rule then Apply or OK and save, in some cases all
  rules disappear (less frequent then issue 1)
  
  When editing an existing rule through the console, hit
  Validate Rule then Apply or OK and save , in some cases all
  rules disappear (less frequent then issue 1)
