Center Drill Toolpath Preview Shows Incorrect Tip Angle

When using a tool with center drill geometry (e.g. 118-degree tip angle) in a Drill toolpath, selecting To chamfer width as the Bottom Height causes the tip geometry in the preview to change. This doesn't affect the toolpath or the simulation, but it is annoying to see such a wide chamfer in the preview, when—in actuality—the angle changes because the preview uses the full tip diameter and the depth, rather than the angle and the depth. This is to say, the width at the top of the hole is consistent despite the change in chamfer width, which should not be the case.
