Icon on card is not showing when setting icon source as icon class column in Apex 21.2

Question

I am trying to add icon in my Apex 21.2 cards region using SQL query. I used the following sql query:

select 1 card_primary_key,   
  'Users' card_title,    
  'Product Users' card_subtitle,    
  'fa-users-alt' card_icon       
from dual

Then under attributes, under Icon and Badge, I set Icon Source=Icon class column and Icon Column = CARD_ICON, and Icon Position= Start

The title and subtitle are the only things showing, no icon shows up, there is just an empty space to the left of text.

I inspected the page looked at the html generated

<span class="a-CardView-icon u-color fa-users-alt" aria-hidden="true" title=""></span>

Could it be because area-hidden is set to true? If so, how do I change it? I did try changing fa-users-alt to fa fa-users-alt etc. but nothing worked

Can't figure out what is happening here. Would really appreciate some help. I am using Template Cards Container and Style A

I did a quick try on apex.oracle.com (which has been upgraded to 22.1 already, but that shouldn't make a difference) and it worked just fine.

Used query

  select EMPNO,
       ENAME,
       JOB,
       MGR,
       HIREDATE,
       SAL,
       COMM,
       DEPTNO,
       'fa fa-users-alt' as icon
  from EMP

Settings are same as yours and the icon shows up just fine. The html element is same as yours too - with aria-hidden="true":

<span class="a-CardView-icon u-color fa fa-users-alt" aria-hidden="true" title=""></span>
