       Hi, after updating to latest versions of Contact 7 and WP I got this hidden field on my contact 7 form (before all the other fields), which is not hidden actually but looks like an empty field with borders (screenshot https://snipboard.io/8C0ZfT.jpg).What is that? It was never there before.I tried to hide it by css but it's not working:#hidden-fields-container fieldset {    display: none !important;}The code of the form apparently has no hidden fields:<div class="row"><div class="col-md-6"><p style="margin: 0; color: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.3); font-size: 12px;">Nome</p>[text* text-619 placeholder "Il tuo nome"]</div><div class="col-md-6"><p style="margin: 0; color: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.3); font-size: 12px;">Email</p>[email* email-899 placeholder "La tua email"]</div><div class="col-md-6"><p style="margin: 0; color: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.3); font-size: 12px;">Telefono</p>[tel tel-957 placeholder "Il tuo telefono"]</div><div class="col-md-6"><p style="margin: 0; color: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.3); font-size: 12px;">Oggetto</p>[text* text-353 placeholder "Il tuo progetto"]</div><div class="col-md-12"><p style="margin: 0; color: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.3); font-size: 12px;">Messaggio</p>[textarea* textarea-889 10x4 placeholder "Dimmi di più"]</div><div class="col-md-12">[acceptance acceptance-666 optional] Ho letto ed accetto la <a style="color:#DB588F;" href="https://adpwebdesign.it/privacy-policy/" target="_blank"> privacy policy </a> del sito web.

 * Try switching to the default theme, deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7 and Wordfence Security, and clearing all cache data.
