I’ve submitted a PR to the marked project to solve this issue at source.

That fix has been released. I’ll test it locally to see if it fixes this issue and, if so, then I’ll create a PR to address it and revert the earlier tactical fix… but later this week, possibly next weekend ‘cos I’m proper busy at the mo’.

I dunno if the PR will be accepted, but if it is:
