Are you using Scale Out functionality?

Otherwise, attached orders will not be canceled.

We were not able to reproduce the problem when using Scale Out:
Attached Orders: Scaling Out

The Attached Orders did cancel for us. We are running the latest version.

If you are using Scale Out, check the Trade Activity Log make sure the attached orders were actually canceled:
