If there is a split in the beginning of an experience with unequal amount of screens in each, the progress bar number for the shorter path (less number of screens) does not start with 1. For example, there are two pathways A & B in an experience. A has 6 screens and B has 11 screens. The progress bar for the first screen on B starts at 1 as expected however for A it starts at 5.
Saumya, would you mind showing an example experience where this is happening (and maybe a Loom)? It will be easier to see.
