I understand it. So I did this modification below (meaning, I added what I
think was missing). Note that all other entries with CX have a copy with CT,
so I followed this logic:

And this seems to have fixed my problem.

How exactly are you "running with ff10"? Are you

Yes

I have ff99ILDN installed, but not playing with it yet.
