Cannot submit transactions while using light client in Ardor

Cannot submit transactions while using light client in Ardor

This is a known problem we are looking to fix in one of the next releases.
The transaction appears to be submitted but is not being broadcast to the network. No funds are lost or affected.

This problem affects two configurations:
1. Light client which does not download the blockchain
2. Roaming client which works as light client during blockchain download

Workaround: 
Switch to full client

Option 1: Reinstall Ardor without checking the light client option during installation
Option 2: Add the following line to conf/nxt.properties under User directories per product and platform nxt.isLightClient=false

In both cases you'll need to restart your node and wait for the blockchain to finish downloading.
