Nonsensical accidentals on applied diminished chords

Whenever the chordal seventh of an applied diminished chord isn’t diatonic to the project key, Hookpad starts to include nonsensical accidentals into the chord label.

Here are just some examples from C major:

Obviously every key signature will come with its own set of wrong chord labels.

Actually it seems to be the same set of chords that are causing this bug in every mode and it seemingly doesn’t matter whether the chordal seventh is diatonic to the project key or the key of the target chord, so I have no idea what causes this bug.

I also think it doesn’t make any sense how it always says “(maj)” when using applied diminished chords outside of major keys, as fully diminished chords aren’t even available in major.
