[Elecraft] Repost with correction: P3 Not updating bandwidth on display

Hello,
I just noticed what may be a bug in the L3/P3 software.
Setup:
1. Using the K3/P3 combination
2. Using a macro to change bandwidth launched from the P3, via the
Elecraft Utility program.
3. P3 set up to show bandwidth by making the cursor line running
vertically wider of narrower.
What happens:
While in CW, or SSB, (no other modes tested), if I am at 2.4 KHz
bandwidth, (and the P3 is showing the correct BW on the screen via the
width of the cursor), and I initiate a BW change using the Macro Editor
utility Elecraft provides, the bandwidth changes on the K3, but the
display of bandwidth on the P3 does not change width.
If I then manually turn the BW control on the K3, no matter how small a
change, the bandwidth on the P3 then instantly reverts to correctly
showing the bandwidth.
An example... I set the bandwidth via the K3, and the bandwidth updates
fine on the P3, and K3.
I then unleash a single macro as described above, (from the P3 utility
program), the K3 changes bandwidth correctly, but the P3 does not
indicate the change, by changing the display cursor width.
If I then launch more BW changing macros from the P3 Utility, or from my
Genovation Keypad, no changes are shown on the P3, with regards to
width, while the K3 always goes to the specified bandwidth correctly.
If I then just touch the BW knob on the K3 only enough to trigger the
encoder, (any change, no matter how small) the P3 reverts to the correct
BW display width.
Discussion:
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I am pretty sure that when I
created all of the BW macros for my Genovation keypad, this was not
happening. So I think this started sometime in the last year.
I noticed this while changing bandwidths using my Genovation keypad
today demoing the K3/P3 to a friend. I then removed all of the
Genovation items, and tested again, the problem persists, so it is NOT
the Genovation keypad.
