First of all thanks for your reply.This mean that this was a bug in the previous versions right? 
Secondly, I would love to connect with you as I am a college student and I want to be a contributor to open source software so can we connect on some platform? I really need someone to guide me 

Thanking you in advance, 
Priyank Rajvansh
