DataGrid Column Width entered as percentage is throwing error in version 24.1.41 and above

Question

A DataGrid Column with a width value entered as a percentage string is throwing errors.

This is happening with a .net8 project and Syncfusion version 24.1.41 (and above)

Error message in browser dev tools console:

invoke-js.ts:176 fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web.ErrorBoundary[0]

System.FormatException: The input string '18%' was not in a correct format.

at System.Number.ThrowFormatException[Char](ReadOnlySpan`1 value)

at System.Number.ParseFloat[Char,Double](ReadOnlySpan`1 value, NumberStyles styles, NumberFormatInfo info)

at System.Double.Parse(ReadOnlySpan`1 s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider)

at System.Double.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider)

at System.Double.Parse(String s, IFormatProvider provider)

It only works if I define the Column's percentage value as a CustomAttribute:

<GridColumn Field=@nameof(MessageModel.Title)

HeaderText="Title"

TextAlign="TextAlign.Left"

ClipMode="ClipMode.EllipsisWithTooltip"

CustomAttributes="@(new Dictionary<string, object>(){ { "width", "18%"} })" >
