Mid-season break not working

[dpt8544]

I have created a custom league structure in Faroe Islands. Everything works fine, except the mid-season break.

As can be seen, I set the break to occur between the 3rd and 28th of July

However, when in game, the mid-season break in the first division occurs at the completely wrong time, from the 3rd of June to the 8th of July (shown below)

Additionally, for all other divisions in the country, the mid-season break does not occur at all! (shown below)

I have fiddled around and tried everything.
I have set 'break periods' within each division and it changed nothing.

I made the dates part of the 'invalid fixture date range' for the country for all domestic competitions and again it changed nothing.

Is this a bug? Are there some kind of preset dates for the nation which cannot be overruled? Or am I not doing it correctly?

As far as I'm aware you are going about it the right way but I have found an annoying quirk with the dates.  It seems that every year the day moves 1 day.

For example you set the start date to the 3rd of July but the following year (2001) it'll be the 2nd and the next it will be the 1st (2002) up until the 7th year when it will revert back to the original.  I've had it do this for season start dates, transfer window dates and squad registration dates.  It's very frustrating.  There needs to be a check box to make it the same date every year.

BTW- I made sure that All Football and Block replays were checked in my game and this seemed to work.
