Stereotypes don't work with multi-line activity in beta

Question

I can't get stereotypes to work with activites that are broken across lines. I tried various combinations, but it always fails. Feels like it might be a bug in the beta.

This works:

@startuml
skinparam activity {
    BackgroundColor Olive
    BackgroundColor<<AltCol>> Green
}

start
:Act 1;
<<AltCol>>:Act 2;
:Multi line
Act;
stop
@enduml

But this does not:

@startuml
skinparam activity {
    BackgroundColor Olive
    BackgroundColor<<AltCol>> Green
}

start
:Act 1;
:Act 2;
<<AltCol>>:Multi line
Act;
stop
@enduml

Hello B.,

FYI: that is fixed since V1.2024.4 (April 6, 2024).

@startuml
skinparam activity {
    BackgroundColor Olive
    BackgroundColor<<AltCol>> Green
}

start
:Act 1;
:Act 2;
:Multi line
Act; <<AltCol>>
stop
