Greetings,

The tutorial example on staggered grids at [staggered](https://docs.sciml.ai/MethodOfLines/stable/staggered/) results in the method error

```julia-auto
MethodError: no method matching view(::Nothing, ::UnitRange{Int64})
The function `view` exists, but no method is defined for this combination of argument types.

```

Removing the staggered grid options from `MOLFiniteDifference` instead results in

` Warning: The system contains interface boundaries, which are not compatible with system transformation. The system will not be transformed. Please post an issue if you need this feature.`

Advice is much appreciated.
