I have found a fix for this issue and it is pretty minor. Should I create a proposal or can just comment on the fix?

Edited:
However, it involves modifying a component that is shared among other components. Not sure, if this can affect other part of the app.

[rohit9625]

The issue #56514 also shares the same solution.

Seems like the cause is the same as the one for #56514, and we have an accepted proposal there, so closing as duplicate
