Water tab glitch?

My preference is to adjust the mash water and then the sparge water according to the water tool reccomendations. When I do this, the final profile matches my target profile. However, when I select "hold sparge salts until boil", the final profile mineral ppm's are super low. It's as if adding sparge salts to the boil does not add minerals to the final profile. For kicks, I unchecked the "hold sparge salts until boil" box, then I deleted the individual sparge salts in the "water salts" section. (important note: deleting the individual sparge salts this way does not lead to an increase in the reccomended mash salt quantities.) When I did this the final profile is identical to when I check the box and add the sparge salts to the boil.

I guess my question is, why is it that adding the sparge salts in the boil gives you the same resulting final profile as not adding them at all?
 
Yes this one is unfortunately on my bug list. It appears that the total water profile at the bottom is displaying the mash water profile and not the overall water profile.

It was corrected in the web based version and also will be fixed with the next set of updates.
