Trouble with ticket number in Subject

Hi there,
Using OTRS 4.latest.
We have a new installation of OTRS and things seem to be working fine,
except that we cannot get a consistent Subject line with a ticket number
included.
For example, using the standard

You shouldn't need to include the ticket_number in the subject manually.

3.whatever), but cannot spot an issue. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks

Thanks - but the ticket number is not showing up by default.

We ended up reinstalling, and it now works as expected. Not sure what went
wrong.

Hi,
Whether I use
or in the Subject, I don't get any ticket number in the Subject line of the auto-response. ie, "[Ticket#2015..." is not appearing in the Subject line as it does in another installation of OTRS.
So, this does not appear to be an issue of the subject string being too long (eg, in my tests, I'm using a Subject of "test").
If I then use
(ie, ignoring the original Subject for test purposes) in the auto-response, OTRS then responds with the following in the Subject line of the auto-response to the customer: [Ticket#2015042008000038] 2015042008000038
I don't know what to make of this strange behaviour, especially since this is a fresh OTRS install on CentOS7.
Regards Henry
