Even after installing the latest modpack, i.e. v9.2.1_#03, i was still facing the same problem as described in this post
After playing around with my installed mods, the problem was appearing only when in the list of my selected mods
Hakabase v2 (Combo) sidepanel mod, and
Detailed damage meter
were present at the same time. After uninstalling the latter, everything worked as intended.
