Thanks for reporting this issue. Luckily, it has already been fixed in one of the recent releases. Please update to the most recent version to resolve the problem.

If the problem persists in your application after upgrading, please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior. You can use ng new repro-app to create a new project where you reproduce the problem.

Hey Chris, as @alan-agius4 mentioned, we fixed this issue in v14.1.1. Make sure you update to the latest patch version to resolve the problem. I’ll lock the conversation because it seems to be going off topic.

In case update to 14.1.1 does not help, please open a new issue with a reproduction so we can investigate.

Thank you!
