      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Testing Big blue button July 2022&#xA;&#xA;I am involved in helping to test big blue button.  I just noticed something odd,  if I use the custom layout from the &#34;Layout Settings Modal&#34; option,  then I can also see propagate layout.  &#xA;&#xA;With the other options the propagate option doesn&#39;t appear. &#xA;&#xA;Not too sure if this is a bug or it is meant to happen.

<p>I am involved in helping to test big blue button.  I just noticed something odd,  if I use the custom layout from the “Layout Settings Modal” option,  then I can also see propagate layout.</p>

<p>With the other options the propagate option doesn&#39;t appear.</p>

<p>Not too sure if this is a bug or it is meant to happen.  I have made this Vokoscreen video to try and illustrate.  It also makes it easier to share what the issue seems to be.</p>

<p>This is happening on a recent beta build,  installed on the Faircam server.</p>
