Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a bug in the browser snapshot tool text handling. Some code is accidentally deleting the ‘s’ character.

Can you send me the request ID (chat context menu in the top right > Copy Request ID)? I’ll pass it to the team to fix.

Here’s the ID: 5c826498-7151-43f1-929e-fc26bb92382c, but I’m in privacy (legacy) mode, and I don’t want to even temporarily change that.
