Hi @Flak , I submitted this ticket a few months ago and it was closed today as “working as intended”. I just verified that this is still an issue. Can you confirm if this close is correct?

I can find some screenshots/videos of the correct behavior prior to when this stopped working, if needed. Thank you.
