Hi everyone,

I have a dev build that should resolve this issue: 6.2.10-dev.11665068791.18581fab

Please note that this is a build of Ionic 7 and is subject to the Ionic 7 Breaking Changes.

Thanks for the issue. This has been resolved via #26083, and a fix will be available in an upcoming release of Ionic Framework. Please note that this fix requires a breaking change, so it is being targeted for the Ionic 7.0 release. Please feel free to continue testing the dev build, and let me know if you have any questions.
