Steps to reproduce

2. Create a new template
3. Open the Theme Builder / trigger template screenshot generation

Expected behavior

1. No deprecation

Isolating the problem

• This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
• This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
• I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.
