Pre Boil Gravity Issue

I brew all grain.  I ran into a situation where I needed to add 1/2 pound of DME to raise gravity points.  I entered it in BeerSmith as a late addition (5 minutes left in boil).  When I entered this into the recipe it raised my estimated pre-boil gravity.  A late boil addition shouldn't affect pre-boil gravity.

It totally threw off the mash efficiency.  I actually got 70% efficiency, and because of the DME addition raising the pre-boil gravity it shows my mash efficiency about 60%. 

Thanks
 
Hi,
  The current version does not handle DME late additions correctly (it assumes all DME is added in the boil when working with all grains).  It is on my list of items to fix.

I ran into this same issue.  Any update on when this issue will be resolved?
