Hi Naomi/Stefan

I tracked down 'jump-up' moment exactly on creation of new session object. Very funny but this is what is happening.
However issue is not critical at all, since (again funny) it is happening only first time that task is called.
After minimising it manually it is no longer happening.

So 'issue' is now reduced to only me not understanding why this is happening :)
Will try to play a bit more to see if I can catch some clue.

Thank you guys both.
