Thanks for the PR. We are currently in feature freeze, because we're putting all of our efforts into very important [foundational work](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/blog/2024/08/19/how-were-transforming-material-for-mkdocs/). Once that's done, we might consider adding this...

It's still unclear whether this needs to be addressed in MkDocs' or click, but let's hope one of these issues gets fixed soon: - https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/issues/4032 - https://github.com/pallets/click/issues/3084 In the meantime,...

Since nothing has happened so far, I've updated the OP with an explanation what happens, what is impacted and two possible workarounds (one of which I just found out about).
