BUG in G71 canned cycle, plunges in X at end of cut

I'm trying to use the G71 canned cycle for rough turning, and I'm seeing a random plunge in X at the end of the code. This issue disappears if I uncheck 'use cycle', and the long hand code looks correct. I have "Allow radial grooving" on, as there is a thread undercut I want roughed. But to avoid radially grooving the smaller diameters at the back of the part, I selected the end of the largest diameter on the part, then selected 'Tangential extension' to the end of the part.

 

Attached is a copy of the code generated and the post.

@paulGTT8L I've replicated the issue and I'll make a ticket for it. I see you're using a tangential extension to get to the back of the model. Instead what you could do is set the back stock limit to "model back", set the tangential extension to 0 and set the grooving parameter to "do not allow grooving" and it will give you the same results without the plunge in X.
