Runscribe Plus bluetooth running power meter sensor: the watch FR945 restart if I try to connect

I have a Runscribe Plus pod. The watch connects correctly with the Runscribe Plus as a footpod via ANT+ or via bluetooth. The watch connects as a running power meter as ANT+ correctly. If I try to connect to the running power meter via bluetooth the watch restarts. It's a firmware bug?

Yep. It is not just the Runscribe, it seems to be something introduced from FW2.48 onwards (have a little search on this forum). Any BLE sensor connection crashes the watch and causes a restart. Good news is (for me at least) that with the latest firmware (2.5) and ANT/BLE/BT software (2.6) it all seems to work again. Doesn't take away from the fact that this is another embarrassing and annoying failure of Garmin's software quality control procedures.

I'm in firmware 2.5 ANT/BLE/BT 3.6. If I go to menu and select search power sensor, the watch finds the bluetooth sensor. When I connect, the watch reboots and the sensor is in the list any more.

I don't have this problem with ANT+ sensor, they remain in the list. I hoped that with the new firmware the problem showed in multiple other threads in the 945 and Marq forum were solved, but it's still quite impossible to connect to ANT+ sensors. The only solution is to restart the watch three or for times and then all is fine. I wish Garmin-Blake could add a word here because this problem is very very annoying and frustrating. I could stand to not use bluetooth sensors, but ANT+ sensor MUST function without problems.
