After research some existing issues, I found the closest description of this issue is #31047, however there are some difference.
Instead of "behaving strangely", this feature now are not working at all.
Instead of macOS Sierra, this issue happened to me with MacOS Catalina.
I downloaded the insider version just now and still not working.
