Thanks for the report! I can reproduce on 1.19.6 on macOS 10.12.6 but just noting that this isn't a regression from 1.18.0 (h/t to @Ben3eeE for checking) and likely even some amount of time before that. This behavior was referenced back in #2953 (comment) but it doesn't look like an issue was opened for this behavior.

I'll tag it as a bug for now and ask the team to take a look.

I have a fix in the works via #15993, but I'm not sure we want to hotfix it to stable because it makes some somewhat non-additive changes.
