Comment (by BandonRandon):

 Hi @master412160 this, like every bug in WordPress, is dependent on a
 community contribution for a fix. As the bug is open and set to be added
 to a Future Release this means that once a patch is submitted and verified
 to fix the issue without having any side effects the project leads will be
 able to merge into Core WordPress.

 If this is a bug that's particularly important to you, I'd suggest writing
 a patch, or if coding isn't your style, hiring a WordPress developer to
 take a look at the issue and contribute a patch.

 For now, you may use the workaround described in this ticket.
