Critical Terrain Map BUG?!

I have noticed this "bug" in the terrain map page of the app recently. I have updated to version 19.23 and this bug may have already been present in earlier versions. This video sums it up:



I am using a Samsung Note 4 and previously have not experienced this problem.

ADD: I think there is a problem with the algorithm where it calculates AGL using the glideslope/climb angle of the aircraft as reference. So it seems that while descending, the far areas become purple because those areas are above the glideslope. Is this a BUG or a FEATURE?

Thanks for that. I might have missed the changelog.
After posting I was looking at the screen settings and there's an option to uncheck "use projected flight path for terrain colors".
That must be the toggle... Will try with FSX atm.

EDIT: Ok problem solved. It is a new feature. Helpful for PFL.
