[🐛 Bug]: Selenium 4.33 - Actions class does not work in headless mode

[SeleniumNinja]

Description

The following code does not work in headless mode on jenkins pipeline (either on Selenium version 4.34). However locally in non- headless it works fine.

actions.keyDown(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL)
.click(DRIVER.findElement(By.xpath(xpathToElement)))
.keyUp(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL).build().perform();

options.addArguments("--enable-automation");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--headless=new");
options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

Reproducible Code

The following code does not work in headless mode, however it works on local computer in non headless mode: 

actions.keyDown(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL)
.click(DRIVER.findElement(By.xpath(xpathToElement)))
.keyUp(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL).build().perform();

It does not work either on Selenium 4.34
