Non coder hunch here: Maybe this has the same source as #6415 (since both are fixing content to the top 🤔)

[parasharrajat]

Very close @isagoico. Just that it is a side-effect of a PR which caused #6425

[alex-mechler]

Yup, @parasharrajat your hunch is right. Reverting that locally fixed the issue. #6268 is the offending PR. cc @thienlnam @azimgd

[alex-mechler]

Hmm, not sure why botify closed this, fix is not on staging yet

[alex-mechler]

@isagoico the fix was CP'd to staging. Can you have this retested?

[isagoico]

Retest for this was a pass 🎉
