NPT Threaded hole options missing

In this example I have tried (with and without a modeled pre-drilled hole) to get a 1/8 - 27 NPT tapped hole on the end center of the part without success. The only option I see is for a 1/16 NPT and all the standard options are not there. Is this a bug or a limitation in the product or am I missing something?

Have you tried selecting 1/8" in the size drop-down? 😉

Thanks for the reply, this is very unusual, when I select the size option ( which I had done before I posted) I see no response as indicated in the 1st screen shot below. If I grab the feature edit panel and drag it up then the pulldown list of values is displayed. Is this a bug?

It is not until the bottom of the feature edit panel is further away from the window edge by what the size drop down list needs that it will then display the list of options.

I was curious and tried a several of the display pulldowns positioned along the bottom of the interface and non-of these show options when used, in the screenshot below I have clicked on the drop down and nothing displays. If I make Fusion windowed and not full screen then the drop downs show. This has to be a bug? Are there any setting or workarounds I can use? If it is a bug how can I report it?

Ooh yes, that certainly looks like a bug to me! Perhaps @jeff_strater  might be able to log this as a bug or maybe bring it to someone's attention that can.

Hi I cannot reproduce the bug you describe. Can you make a video with screencast or some other means?

When the hole dialog is near the bottom of the screen, the size list opens upwards.

I hadn't checked the behaviour @flatout3d reported in his/her last post but now I have I'm getting the same behaviour as you are, i.e. the drop-down opens upwards.
