Possible Bug with the ‘Apply Measures To…’ feature

Hello!
I believe I encountered a reproducible bug in MagicPlan when using the “Apply Measures To…” feature.
Use case:
—
Create a simple square room with 25’ x 25’ wall length dimensions that will contain 10x double hung windows on one wall.
Add a single double hung window on a wall then apply its measures as 2’W x 5’H and 1’ distance to the floor. (These measures are inconsequential to the behavior)
Add any number of double hung windows then go back to the first window and ‘Show Info’. Choose “Apply Measures To…’ and select the other windows created earlier then confirm the selection.
All characteristics and measurements were copied from the first window to the others with the exception of one variable: ‘Distance to the floor’. This variable is not carried over to the new windows nor does it seem possible to do so using the ‘Apply Measures To…’ function.
From my perspective: This missing variable replication renders the function unusable since the intention of the function is to do what it calls for by name: “Apply Measures To”
I have used this feature many times before and it worked as intended, specifically in my case for adding basement windows. The AMT function replicated all dimensions of the window and included the distance to the floor. This is why I observe the new behavior as a bug and not a missing feature.
I am able to reproduce this with the following versions of sw/hw:
model:iPhone 13 mini
Device ID: 40E321F6360E
OS Version: 17.2.1
App Version: 2024.1.0(2b6ce8289)

Susanne Reich Thank you for the update and confirmation. I know it can be frustrating when a user posts “This is broken…” with no details.
Did I submit this through the proper channels? I have a few more potential bugs I’d like to report so I want to make sure I am submitting correctly.
