Gaussian Blur only applies to the first mask when multiple masks are created

When I apply the Gaussian Blur effect and create multiple masks, the blur is applied only to the first mask. The other masks do not show any blur effect.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add a clip to the timeline.

  2. Apply the Gaussian Blur effect.

  3. Create a mask under the Gaussian Blur effect.

  4. Create one or more additional masks under the same effect.

  5. Adjust the blur amount.

Expected result:

Gaussian Blur should be applied to every mask created under the effect.

Actual result:

Gaussian Blur is applied only to the first mask. The additional masks have no blur applied.

build 22

Here on windows works as expected.
Might have the second mask set to subtract?

No, both masks are set to Add mode.
