Duplicate of #54521 and #54518

[jakecastelli]

This issue is indeed duplicate of #54518, since the fix PR also links to this issue, I will let the Github to auto close this issue once the fix lands.

[jakecastelli]

Actually, we should probably ask Robert to amend the commit message to link to the other issue instead. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks @RedYetiDev!
