Error message when shorting

[abarton57]

When I try to place a Short order in the IB plug-in order entry screen I get the message: IB ERROR: Error validating request:- 'Place Order': Cause - Invalid side field was entered.
Long orders work OK, so I'm probably being very stupid here - any suggestions greatly appreciated!

It's a bug with the plugin, however there is an easy work-around. Instead of clicking short, just click the Sell button.
