Yes, I agree, I recommend [filing a bug](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-to-report-a-bug/67911).

For questions specific to profiler or profiler documentation, I recommend asking those on the relevant profiler forum, [here](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/development-tools/nsight-compute/114) is the nsight compute forum.
