Yup this is a known problem because of one of the pick in 0.72.9. We're going to address it in the following minor version (0.72.10)

Hi! Any estimate as to when this minor version is available?

Sometime in the next weeks.
You can still use 0.72.8 if this is a blocking issue for you

RN 0.72.10 is out, and this issue has been resolved.
