I can reproduce this. I'm making inquiries with the product team.
@shyambhiogade Do you know for sure that this used to work?

We are aware of the issue. We're working on a fix to update the JavaScript library to fix the issue. ETA: 1-2 weeks at most.

@Rick-Kirkham yes, this used to work, I had the code in production, which suddenly started failing.
