Number of multiple lines indicator behaving strangely

Hi!
I noticed some slightly confusing behaviour in the setting for number of multiple lines during computer analysis. I dont see this if I disable lichess tools. I currently have number of multiple lines set to 3.

If have local engine evaluation activated and click on the Engine settings icon in the top right corner, the Multiple lines indicator says 5/5 and the graphic bar for this setting is briefly filled all the way, but then changes to half way (that is 3 out of 5), with the the numbers still displayed as 5/5.

If I disable local engine evaluation and again go into engine settings, it displays 5/5 and the graphic bar is completely filled.

But in reality, when I run the engine, 3 lines are given. So the multiple lines indicator does not display the current value of number of multiple lines set.

If I disable Lichess tools, the indicator behaves as I would expect: It shows 3/5 and the bar is half filled, both with engine evaluation on and off.

Notice that I didnt at any point try to change the number of lines. And if I do, it updates correctly, it is just hard to see what the current setting is since it doesnt show the correct value.

Thanks for the report. I published a 2.4.105. See if it still happens. I am changing some fundamental stuff.

Ah, I see it. It is definitely a bug... Thanks!
Will get fixed in v2.4.107
