Map doesn't close in replays

complete

If I watch replays the first selected round is always ok. But after that the map won't close for all the other replays/rounds. I have to refresh the whole page if I want to watch another round of the same duel.

This issue should now be fixed. If issue persist, please feel free to reopen the card. Thanks!

Lennin is this only supposed to be fixed for NEW replays or for existing ones as well? because i just (excitedly!) opened one to test, and the bug is still there, map doesn't close.
you can test it here: https://www.geoguessr.com/team-duels/69935d2dbc37a6438dd5b654/replay?player=6022999c91e2d70001baa800&round=17
if you skip about 1/3rd in (~20 seconds), the map is closed. then skip about 2/3rds in (~50 seconds), the map is open. now skip back to 1/3rd in - the map is still open, at the same time stamp where it was closed originally.

Hi Lennin, thanks for the response. The bug is easy to reproduce. I recorded a video: https://youtu.be/KhJVP0Flw2k
Step 1: open replays
Step 2: watch a random round until the player makes a guess on the map (so the map is open)
Step 3: watch another random round -> the map won't close from the previous round even though the player is playing with a closed map and you can't watch the replay properly
The map only closes when you refresh the website.

Lennin yes it happens with troubleshooting steps followed, completely vanilla different browser different machine whatever. have you actually tried it yourself? if you can't reproduce a recording can be made, but you should be able to see it for yourself

incredibly annoying, and recently introduced - it used to be fine until a few weeks ago
