Yes. +1 comments are useless, annoying and just add noise to an already established issue, you aren't adding anything useful.
If this is affecting you @MarzyCoder perhaps just use the subscribe to notifications so you don't miss updates when/if this gets fixed, or help contribute to find a workaround or solution 👍
