[Bug]: nonce is incorrect because eth_getTransactionCount is not called before eth_sendRawTransaction

[cristiam86]

Describe the bug

In the previous version, before calling the eth_sendRawTransaction method, Metamask also called eth_getTransactionCount to update its account nonce.
Since Version 12.10.1, this no longer happens, and the transaction fails because of wrong nonce.

Expected behavior

eth_getTransactionCount should be called before eth_sendRawTransaction to update Metamask's account nonce

Screenshots/Recordings

No response

Steps to reproduce

Send two transactions with the code provided. The first one succeeds if the account is new because the nonce is 0.
The following transactions fail because the nonce sent by Metamask is always 0.

Additional context

This is how I'm calling the eth_sendTransaction from my JavaScript code:

const transaction = {
  from: senderAccount?.address,
  to: address,
  data: serializedData,
  value: `0x${value.toString(16)}`,
};

const result = await client.request({
  method: "eth_sendTransaction",
  params: [transaction as any],
});

In previous versions of Metamask, this opened the browser extension, I confirmed, and the transaction got sent to the node accordingly.

Severity

This bug doesn't allow users to send any transaction
