@abzokhattab I believe this might be a regression stemming from your PR. Could you please confirm?

[abzokhattab]

@Nodebrute Correct. we thought this would be fine to have. but i agree we need to change this for a smoother UX.

let me know what you think @dangrous @eVoloshchak , and if we need to have a special handling for the zero value then.

[mountiny]

I think this is pretty back UX so we should revert or find a fix quickly which I feel like will be hard to do while maintaining cross-platform appraoch

[dangrous]

Honestly I went back and forth, I see it both ways. It's good to have a second opinion! I think if you think it's best to revert and then regroup on the original PR/issue, then that makes sense to me. Since I'm still on leave officially, do you think you can work to get that done shortly? I can keep checking in though!

We reverted the PR in #39610, this can be closed and we'll continue work In #34894
