If this video is the one I suspect it is (TAP Air Portugal A321 at Lisbon) it shows an issue which developed some years ago with the A321, only, when approaching with full flap, only, and certain combinations of crosswinds.

I understand it was overcome with a software modification, but the A321 was prevented from making full flap approaches for some months while the change was developed and tested. As a result BMI had to substitute other types into Belfast City, a notably short runway, during this time, where approaches without full flap could not be made.
