Trading DOM - Price highlight box too large when using OpenGL for Chart Graphics

I'm using a study that requires OpenGL graphics to be turned on, but in doing so, the price highlight increases to cover adjacent prices. I've attached two photos to show the difference in price highlights with the graphics turned on/off. Assuming this isn't just a bug on my end, can this be fixed in the future?

Does this occur if your study is not on the chart?

Yes. As a test, I just created a new chartbook and opened a new DOM (no studies). Same results when toggling the OpenGL Graphics.

Did you change the Tick Size in Chart >> Chart Settings, for the Trading DOM from the default?

We would never be able to reproduce a problem like this and we cannot.

Actually we think we know why there is an issue. We are looking into this.

Just FYI, I don't change the 'Tick Size' for any of my charts, but I do adjust the 'Volume at Price Multiplier' on the NQ to either 2 or 4. Also note that I've adjusted my DOM text size from 8 -> 6 and compressed the DOM scale to see more price levels.
