Why does the example testbench for Intel® Arria® 10 Triple-Speed Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP does not complete simulation?

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.4, the testbench for TSE (SGMII + GXB) receives only three packets out of five and the simulation does not complete. The problem occurs because the MAC drops the frames with less than 7 bytes of Preamble.
