Hello !
It's a duplicate of #1643

[ZCube]

@vmaerten thanks

[luischre]

I am still observing this issue even with the newest version 3.37.2

Anyone else experiencing the same still?

We now also downgraded to 3.36.0 again.

@luischre Can you please open a new issue and provide an example of a Taskfile that reproduces the issue?

[luischre]

Yes, sure, will do so. Will try to provide a minimal reproduceable example. But need to prepare that first. Will then open the issue.
