Topic: Modal button throws error - Uncaught TypeError: this._element is undefined
Expected behavior No errors when clicking on a button that triggers a modal.
Actual behavior Get consistent console errors when clicking on an icon or any element inside of a button or anchor element that either throw "Uncaught TypeError: this._element is undefined" or "Uncaught TypeError: e is null". See snippet for basic example of this happening, you have to click on the actual icon inside the button for it to trigger. It does not throw and error if you click the button not occupied by the icon.

Hello,
this happens due to the interactions with <i> element. To solve this problem, add pe-none class to the icon element, so your element looks like:
<i class="fas fa-plus pe-none"></i>
