The change was made on core-updates on 12 December 2016 (commit b810a85019ab3c4ee1f889d0751b8eb06157dadc), and merged into master on 3 April 2017 (commit 2a0d5de5a9decd785b22dafa69aae5320231f1b7). You applied the workaround a week later. > I'll take a closer look at it and try to see what's up. I see that you recently removed the workaround. Thanks for taking care of it. Regards, Mark
