Forms Trace problem

Question

I'm trying to use Forms Trace to assess performance in one of my forms, its slow and I want to find out if its middle tier/client processing or the network or the database.
Unfortunately, I only seem to be able to select a limited number of events to report on. I am tracing the events 32-46,65,66 and the form opens and runs as expected, however, if I try and increase the number of events to include, for example, 64 (Forms start & end) or 69 (Canvas) I get an error stating that communication with the server has been lost.
The information in the Java Console is:

Is there a maximum on the number of events you can include? Has anyone else experienced this, did you manage to overcome the problem? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Richard,
I had the same problem. It's a bug (see thread below).
