Manual tabs not respecting width specification?

I have entered a 2c contour toolpath, and specified manual tabs where i want them.  I then specified the width of the tabs to be 7mm.   This matches the width of the part where I want the tabs.  The tabs look fine, when i am in selection mode specifically the width of the tab appears to be 7mm (measured at the bottom of the triangular tab).  This appears to be correct since when i hover over the tab width box...the drawing pops up and shows the bottom of the tab as the width dimension.  However when I check the toolpath the bottom width appears to be more like 10 mm.

I have used this before and it seemed to have worked.  Do I have to guess the width entry to match the bottom width? Has something changed?  Is the drop down drawing simply wrong?  Basically what is going on.

Please see Set Up: base Operation 2d contour6
