@ramalama - Thank you for your contribution but I fear that without a Summary of Changes, or Testing Instructions and possibly a link to Documentation, you are going to have difficulty to get this PR tested and approved.

I'm mostly a tester here and I can't test this as is.

@exlemor Thanks for the fast feedback. This issue is not present in the front- or backend. It only affects developer of plugins - how would you test this? I could provide a dummy component just to demonstrate it - seems way too much effort to me for one single line of code.
Any other ideas?

Hi @ramalama, I understand - sadly not all testers are extension or core developer ;( (I wish I was) - I will let others more knowledgeable developers then test this :) - Thank you for filling in above a bit to make it easier for others.

FYI, on #47451, the screenshots are missing for me ;(

@ramalama Does the issue also happen in 5.4? Or only in 6.x? If it happens also in 5.4, a bug fix should be made for the 5.4-dev branch. Maintainers would the merge it up later when it has been merged into 5.4-dev.
