'azure-maps-controls' and 'azure-maps-drawing-tools' type error when building with strict mode

Question

The npm azure-maps-controls package is broken when using strict mode for typescript compilation. This is due to

 export abstract class ControlBase<T = any> extends internal.EventEmitter<T> implements Control { /* Type definition */ }

The error is due to internal.EventEmitter constraining T to T extends internal.EventArgs so this constraint also needs to be applied to ControlBase<T extends intenral.EventArgs = any>

There is another type error in azure-maps-drawing-tools in the type definition of DrawingManager the definition of public edit(shape: azmaps.Shape) is missing a return type. As this method does not return anything it should be updated to public edit(shape: azmaps.Shape): void

Due to the issues neither of the packages will compile when using Typescript in strict mode, unless skipLibCheck is set to false in the tsconfig file.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to put this but I don't seem to be able to find a bug tracker for either of these packages that I can find I am just putting this here.

Hello max rose, Community SME's on this topic or our team will review your scenario and circle back at the possible earliest time. 

Meanwhile did you try the below suggestions!!!
(as long as skipLibCheck is set to false in the tsconfig file)

public edit(shape: azmaps.Shape): void {
  // Method implementation
}

export abstract class ControlBase<T extends 
  // Type definition
}
