@xtreme-conor-nosal I ran this with the latest code v0.63.0. We had some bug fixes and I ran you're reproducible steps and no panic was caused:

Closing this now as resolved - If you see anything wrong with the above output or you're not getting the correct result please let me know and I can re open
