Thanks for the workaround, rondev!
Seems this is related to having a timing question in the same page.I updated the question accordingly.
FWIW I tried it in a new question in a different block and it did work.While it still didn't work in a new question in original block.So it seems to be related to some setting applied at the block level - but not sure what exactly.
Thanks!
