Not sure if this is still a problem.
Tested on Canary 71 and it's not a problem anymore.

WontFix seems like an odd status for an issue that was fixed indirectly. Thanks for testing though. Hopefully it will work properly in a few months.
Status: Fixed (was: WontFix)
I agree on your comment, changed it to fixed instead, however won't fix description includes obsolete.

Thanks. WontFix description doesn't seem to be visible on my side.
