Maybe related with this commit?  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4af77f1e3854c564c8404e08b83e786fd25a7bfe](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4af77f1e3854c564c8404e08b83e786fd25a7bfe)

I am on the latest version: [f700e318a4](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/f700e318a4671bc413c92b1c384c05f1080dda54)
