I’m getting an error placing a plane markup when running on a Linux OS. I first noticed the bug using an older version (5.3.0) but it also exists on the latest nightly build. When I use either button to create a plane, the plane is immediately placed at the origin. Then, each time the cursor moves in and out of the scene, an additional plane is created. The following errors are generated:

I have confirmed that the plane markup works as expected on the Windows nightly version.
