[GJor]

Hi @joshblack , what is the timeline of #5547 to become available?

[joshblack]

Hi @GJor! 👋 I don't know if there is an ETA yet for when that issue will be addressed. We'll always accept contributions for fixes if the timeline for this is urgent!

[matthewgallo]

Hey @joshblack, similar question to @GJor, is there a status update for https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon/issues/5687?

[joshblack]

Hey @matthewgallo! Sorry about the delay, taking a look now and will try and see if we can get one of the devs on our team to verify/triage so we can get it fixed!
