Hi G.Morse

Thanks for reporting this bug.
I was able to reproduce the issue reported but on Nightly 83 , Beta 82 and Release 81.

Since I wasn't able to reproduce it on ESR 78 I won't add any flags in the hope someone else may be able to reproduce it.

I'll add a product and component so the corresponding team can investigate and share their feedback.

Regards,
Virginia.
