Auto Wall Opening framing headers not correct - please confirm

I just noticed that the automatic header opening framing sizing feature is not working correctly, and does not match the opening specs you set in Default Settings-Framing-Openings.

 

To confirm, I drew a large house with only one interior wall, added door openings of different sizes and types from 3 feet to 12 feet. They all get assigned headers of (2) 2" x 6". HOWEVER, a door opening that is the same size, and changed to a horizontal slider, doors 3 and 4, get headers applied differently as seen in the schedule. 

 

It also appears to affect the window framing/schedule. All windows of different widths get assigned (2) 2x6. I hate to think about all the projects I sent out in the last 2 months that I didn't review the the door/window shedules. Oh crap.

 

Before I submit the bug can someone else verify and duplicate?

Now when the hell did that setting get changed on my computer

 

Wasn't you AFAIK, though you may have started a new Template for X12? 

 

Framing set to Calculate From Width ,unchecked is the Default in Chief's Residential Template in X11 + X12 for both Windows and Doors it seems,

just ran into this recently myself.
