Changes to Slot content in Instance overrides Component and other Instances

When hiding an object inside an Instance of a Component with Slots, the object is also hidden in the Component itself and thus in other Instance.

In this case: if I hide the blue info block in the Instance in one modal, it also hides in another modal and in the modal content component

Changes to an Instance should not influence its Component.
