bug in GripSize via automation

[daniel_cadext]

bug?

(defun C:LDOIT()

    (setq doc (vla-get-ActiveDocument acadObj))
    (setq ACADPref (vla-get-Selection (vla-get-preferences acadObj)))

        if (auto hr = prefs->get_Selection(&sel); hr != S_OK)
            return false;

        long val = 4;
        if (auto hr = sel->get_GripSize(&val); hr != S_OK)
        {
            acutPrintf(_T("\nFail 0x%08x"), hr);
            return false;
        }

        acutPrintf(_T("\nGripSize =  %ld"), val);
    }
    return true;
}

Thanks we reported this our Engineering team, I can reproduce this in ACAD 2022 too, so I feel this is not a regression in ACAD 2025.
