Breakout rooms not accessible while screen sharing

I cannot access the breakout room control window if I am sharing my screen. I will click on Breakout rooms and nothing will happen unless I stop sharing my screen...then it will work. This was not always the case and has created problems where you may forget to start sharing your screen again after the breakout room activity. Is there something that I must do to enable this function that must have been changed following a Zoom update?

I had the same issue while running a meeting from 3:00 - 4:00 pm today.

I am continuing to battle with this bug almost one year later. It would be amazing if I could keep a screen share open and set up breakout rooms so that participants can prepare for their task in the rooms.
