A bug in PDF file creation for form 4852 (substitute 1099-R) by TT Desktop for macOS, 2023 version (and earlier)

I used TT Desktop on Mac for my 2022 return and earlier and I am thinking of returning to TT for 2024 tax.

I found that there is a bug in its handling of form 4852, the form to use when you don't get 1099-R and

other forms. I used it to report an annuity payout from a foreign insurance company that doesn't report to IRS.

On TT, I entered text for the line 9 ("How did you determine the amount on line 7 and 8 above?") and line 10 ("Explain your effort to obtain Form W-2, Form 1099-R, or Form W-2C, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement")

But later after I filed, I realized that in the PDF file that TT generated these lines look like this:

That is, each line is just self-referring itself! No text I entered isn't included in the PDF file.

It is a real problem for me because my state doesn't allow e-filing of a tax refund if it contains a substitute form, and I had to mail a printed copy of this PDF file.

My question: Was Intuit aware of this bug and has it been fixed?
