Truecommand falsely reporting SMR drives

I recently deployed Truecommand and when I added my NAS servers it reported one of my pools was made up of SMR drives. I double checked and they were Seagate Barracuda which are indeed SMR. I replaced the drives one by one with Seagate Ironwolf drives of the same size which I confirmed are CMR drives. I did it this way to avoid re-creating the pool.

The pool is online and healthy but Truecommand is still reporting the 3 drives as SMR when they are not. Do I need to re-create the pool or do I need to reset something somewhere?

Report it as a bug?

Tried restarting the application from scratch no luck. Looks like a bug as you said. I'll report it. The drives it's reporting as SMR are Seagates Ironwolf 4TB drives (ST4000VN006). I double checked and the drives are indeed CMR as per https://www.seagate.com/ca/en/products/cmr-smr-list/. Definitely something wrong with the SMR detection.
