I am running into a strange setup with an audio transcription task I’m trying to complete. I am able to label four regions of my file without any issue, but as soon as I attempt to label a fifth I get an error and the following stack trace:

```auto

I noted a user in the Slack support channel experiencing a nearly identical problem with a video task (4 labels are fine, the fifth throws this error) so perhaps it’s reproducible in other task types too: [Slack Support Thread](https://label-studio.slack.com/archives/CQ8LYQ0J2/p1716191107317229)

**My Setup**  
Version: 1.12.1  
Installed via Docker and via PiP (Both experiences are the same)

**labeling configuration:**

```auto
<View>
    <Audio name="audio" value="$audio"/>
    <Labels name="label" toName="audio">
      <Label value="Speaker 1" background="#f500ff"/>
      <Label value="Speaker 2" background="#ff0300"/>
    </Labels>
   <TextArea name="Transcript" toName="audio" perRegion="true" showSubmitButton="true" maxSubmissions="1" editable="true" required="true"/>                            
</View>

```
