D&D 5E 2024 NPC Character Sheet Issues

Hey all, Since the 21st of April, I have been experiencing some really annoying issues with the 2024 NPC character sheets, which are grinding my games down. When I roll an attack roll with an 2024 NPC sheet, it rolls the attack in the chat box, but when I click on the damage box, it doesn't roll the damage roll. 2024 PC sheets are not effected, nor are any 2014 sheets. I have been using the auto-roll damage feature to get around this, but this also requires me to make sure I am toggling advantage/disadvantage on or off so it roll's crit damage correctly, or I have to manually roll crit damage. This is slowing down my games, as I have to switch the NPC sheet from statblock to compact to do this and then back to statblock. When the damage is on Auto-Roll, it doesn't compact the damage rolls into one roll, and rolls each damage roll of an attack seperatly which floods my chat with each seperate damage roll for each type of damage. This wouldn't be such an issue with the 2014 sheets, as they are more compact within the chat box, but the 2024 sheets use such large boxes in the chat feed, that 1 attack roll with two damage rolls  just floods the entire chat feed. I have also noticed, there isn't an option to just roll two dice for any D20 check on 2024 sheet, so I have to roll with advantage or disadvantage for nearly every roll (causing me to have to switch between compact, and statblock, and back again, everytime I need to change this), where I am used to just rolling two flat rolls (on the 2014 sheets) and taking the value on the left if it's a normal roll, or the higher of the two for advantage, or lower of the two for disadvantage, which works great when I can click on the damage from the chat box to roll damage, as it gives me both normal damage or critical hit damage options to click on if one of the rolls was a critical hit, which in turn rolls all the damage in one box, rather then seperate boxes for each damage roll. Another issue I have found, is that there are some skills that are supposed to roll within their text boxes the damage outputs for their attacks such as this action: as you can see, this is what was posted in the chat feed, and the [[4d8 + 3]] hasn't rolled the damage so I now have to manually roll this out, slowing my games down. This monster is taken directly from the 2024 Monster Manual compendium, and I havn't adjusted anything on the sheet. I have also tested damage rolls not rolling in chat, and text box rolls on a brand new game using 2024 sheets, with no modifictations, with a few 2024 Monster Manual NPC's, and the results are the same: Not able to roll damage from chat, rolls inside text are also not working. Is this a recent bug that's occured, in regards to not being able to roll damage from the chat box for NPC sheets? Is there something I need to adjust in my games to change this? Is there an option for two flat D20 rolls on all D20 checks for 2024 sheets? Is the damage roll inside actions broken as well? Any advice, or time frame of fixes would be great.
This is most likely because NPCs have "whisper to GM" on by default, and there's a known bug with that not working. This fix is in progress right now.
