Worker Order Stop Displays Incorrect P/L

Hello,

I have a working order with two contracts, two profit targets, and one stop.

The orderlines on the chart and DOM display the correct P/L for each contract's profit target.

But the orderline for the stop only reflects the potential loss of one contract, rather than two. In other words, it displays "$200" for a four-point ES loss, rather than "$400," which would be the total for two contracts

Testing this setup in simulation modes shows that all contracts are filled properly, and the correct potential loss is displayed in the order configuration trade window.

I expect that this is a basic settings issue that I've overlooked. I've been searching SC's documentation, along with old support messages, but I'm stumped.

Thanks!

Are these two separate Stop orders at the same price?:

You can see this more clearly in the Trade >> Trade Orders Window:
