Try making a tiny reproduction with no framework code. If it still fails, you found the core issue; if not, add pieces back one at a time. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me

I would log the input, the expected output and the actual output first. Once those three are visible, the bug usually stops feeling mysterious. I keep a note about css for exactly this reason
