Problem with Attached Orders

Hello Support,

I am struggling with making Attached orders working correctly. The configuration on the Trade Window is quite simple (please see attached images):

1. 1 Target Limit
2. 1 Stop Limit

When I place an order the Target and Stop are executed correctly. However, when I try to scale out (exit part of position), the originally placed Stop Limit and Target NOT adjusting according to the remaining number of the contracts (please see attached image).

Example:

1. Original order - short 10 ES (Stop 6 ticks, Target Limit 12 ticks)
2. Scale out - buy 7 contracts at a profit (position remains 3 short)
3. Problem - Stop Limit and Target Limit are NOT adjusted to reflect remaining number of constructs (should adjust automatically to 3 but still remain 10)

Anything I do incorrectly or missing a part of configuration to make this work properly?

Enable confirmations and you should see a dialog like the attached indicating scaling out is being used.

And make sure you have enabled the scaling out option on the correct Trade Window:
