Full roof return not fully working with Trusses and auto-roofs

I have attached a simple plan that duplicates a problem I see with auto roofs that happens ONLY when I choose Trusses AND the Eaves overhang is set to less than 7" (6" in the attached plan).  What happens is that a full roof return directive from the wall below is ignored, and I only get a partial roof return for that wall.  If I select rafters, instead of trusses, in the roof build dialog, I get a full return. Also, if I choose an eave overhang of 7" or more, the full roof return works as well.

 

Thanks,

Alvar

I agree that it's easily fixable by using the manual roof tools, and that's how I've been handling it. My reason for posting is exactly to bring to light the "corner case" that seems to hit this programming limitation in case the developers hadn't seen it. Whether it's an easy thing to support or not, I have no idea. 

 

Thanks,

Alvar
