Duplicate of #2678, which has already been fixed by #2686.

The fix is in the latest release, Arduino IDE 2.3.6. So you only need to update your IDE installation and the problem will be fixed. Unfortunately the auto-update feature is broken in Arduino IDE 2.3.5. The auto-update bug has already been fixed in 2.3.6, so it won't be a problem going forward, but this means that you can't use the normal procedure to update Arduino IDE 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. You should instead download Arduino IDE 2.3.6 from the "Software" page on the arduino.cc website, then install the downloaded file:

@fcana you checked that box to attest that you had tested with the nightly build of Arduino IDE, but clearly you didn't actually do that. In the future, please do test with the nightly build of Arduino IDE before submitting an issue to avoid creating duplicates.
