Why does the External Thread feature create chamfers of differing sizes when using the same values?

I'm new to onshape but having trouble with a very simple part. It just a 3/8" rod with 1.5" of 3/8-16 thread on each end. When using the External Thread feature and selecting to add a chamfer, the chamfer on one end of the rod is created with different dimensions than the other end of the rod. Each External Thread was created from it's respective end face, so I have no clue why the chamfers are coming out with different dimensions.

TIA!

    We are currently looking into this issue. As a workaround you can uncheck the Chamfer option in the External Thread dialog(s) and use the Chamfer feature from the toolbar to apply the chamfers manually

    Can you please open a support ticket for this so we can fully track it in our system?
