Post From: Stop loss(market) order getting converted into a Stop limit order!

Hello
I had a test Trade Window configuration with 1 Target (Limit Order) and 1 Stop(Regular Stop (ie market)) order. This all worked fine in SIM, when assigning the trade window config and testing buy orders. When the Stop triggered, it executed as a regular stop loss(market) order,as expected.

But when I tested this same config live today, I noticed the Stop order was set to a "Stop Limit" order, and not the regular "Stop" (ie Stop loss market) order...as shown in the same screenshot of "Trade Orders" window.
When I go back to SIM and do another test order, with the same config, it works as expected(ie Stop orders were regular Stop orders and not "Stop limit" orders). You can see the executed Stop loss market orders for the SIM account in the attached "Trade Orders" window.
Have attached screenshot of the Targets section of the "trade window configuration" used, showing the Order type: Stop:Stop.

How do you explain this strange behavior, with the live orders?. Need, the Stop orders to be Stop Market orders ALWAYS.

Thanks!
