It seems to be a safari issue. I could not reproduce on Chrome but I do reproduce on Safari. Could you test on another browser (Safari is known to have a lot of issues)

I installed a different browser (brave) and it works, so I at least have a temporary workaround but not supporting safari is obviously a significant issue.
