Thank you for narrowing this down. We have not heard other reports of this issue which would typically be the case if it were affecting all users.

Private Browsing Mode is ephemeral so storage will only exist in-memory and go away at browser restart or if the network process were to crash. Are you using Private Browsing Mode (I see you comment on new private window)? Does it reproduce in regular browsing mode?
