Browsing the code, I see that at the moment this is technically intentional (an rather difficult to fix), but I agree that it's not ideal.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-09-23 16:17:58 UTC
Still not ideal, but also still not any more feasible to achieve. Unfortunately I don't think we can do this, for technical reasons. :(
