The 3D preview in the properties editor of footprint editor is incorrect

Layout 3D Models

Hi all,

I have a rubber dome button footprint, and I add a simple recentage STEP 3d file to the footprint.

The footprint is like this:

image683×661 5.91 KB

When I use alt+3 to view 3d, everything is OK, like this:

But when I open the properties editor window and switch to 3d page, the 3d preview is incorrect:

The 3d model is much bigger than footprint.

Here is the footprint file:
4.5mm_Rubber_Button.kicad_mod (3.4 KB)
And here is the 3d file:
4.5mmbutton.step (7.5 KB)

Here is the KiCAD version:

It’s a known bug which you can ignore because it works in the board view.
