Hello @salilou,

I suspect this could be a bug. I have already reported the issue, and it has been logged in our issue tracker for the development team’s further investigation. At this time, there is no estimated timeframe for a fix. I kindly ask you to stay tuned for upcoming theme updates, where this may be addressed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding
