Automatic Firewall rules option troubles

Hi.

I found an issue with the "Automatic firewall rules" in the Server load balancing section, and I suppose it might be happening in other areas as well. I contacted support about this and they just replied to me to add a new feature, which I will. But thought to put something more actively read here.

First thing, when I configured a load balancing rule and turned on the auto rule, it worked fine. But it does not log that specific traffic. (this is the feature to add.) So to try to do it myself, I created a FW rule for the same port and destination and enabled logging. SHOCKINGLY.. it does not allow the traffic! And I have no way of knowing what the auto rule does because I can't see it anywhere (another feature).

But that's not all....
After deleting the FW rule I put in, the traffic CONTINUED TO FAIL! yet without logging. So now I'm sitting with no FW rule and the load balancing rule with the auto FW rule option active with no traffic. Solution? I had to disable the auto-FW rule, save it, and then re-enable it.

I also tried performing the test by first disabling the auto-FW rule and then making my manual FW rule but still it did not allow the traffic.

What gives?
