New and improved About page at /about is live

Since updating to Discourse Version 3.4.0.beta3-dev (9c17588f6a), I’m unable to fully utilize the new Customize About Page feature due to a conflict with existing text. Specifically, the old js.about.contact_info text from /admin/customize/site_texts?overridden=true&q= persists and mixes with any new content added via the About page customization.

The main issues:

  1. New About Page Customization Not Overriding Old Text: When I update contact information on the new About page feature, the old text from js.about.contact_info at site_texts still appears, creating a mixed display instead of fully replacing the old content.
  2. Editing Site Texts Disabled: The new About page customization seems to have blocked my ability to edit any site texts, as the overridden js.about.contact_info text prevents access to these fields.

Due to privacy concerns, I can’t share the website URL, but I’m running Discourse Version 3.4.0.beta3-dev (9c17588f6a). Any advice on troubleshooting this or suggestions for future updates to address this conflict would be greatly appreciated.
