Do you have a really old firmware version loaded?  The problem was fixed
I think) a LONG time ago...

If you are having this problem with a 'current' firmware release, then it's
been 'broken' as the result of recent 'fixes' to something else.

I used this feature several times yesterday on a known current version of
the firmware and every time I re returned to 'normal' (not coarse) mode
when CWT was completed.
