Activity is cleared when auto archive of GPX is set. FIT data lost. [Bug 85]

GPSMAP 66st firmware 4.20, gps firmware 2.80.
Hi.
I have the following set up for activity saving.
Format: FIT and GPX.
Autoarchive of GPX: Daily.
Auto start: on. Auto stop: off.
Tracking mode: auto. Most often.
I really don't think the settings matter, but i add it as reference.
Now to the point.
Say i start an activity day 1, which continues an finish day 2.
The number of points logged is far below the maximum 20 000 points. In fact around 4000 after the first day, and another 4000 the second day.
After the second day i want to save the complete activity. When selection Save from the current activity page. The only data saved is for the current day, which is now day 2. In my saved activity and my saved track, i cannot see the first day, which looks to be lost.
Now, if i go into Saved tracks -> Archived -> Auto, i can see the first day but of course this is only the first day, not the complete Activity.
So all in all, the problem becomes that for anyone dependent on FIT-data, they will loose all data for the first day unless they manually save the activity, or make a different set up.
For me, mostly using the GPX it's not a big issue, i can take day 1 and day 2, but it is annoying that the activity got cleared, when the setting only talks about auto archive of GPX.
I know there is a setting of auto archive when full, but that is not very optimal, because when the number of points reach around 18 000, the auto archive will save the oldest 6000 points instead of the entire dataset. Again, the FIT is not auto saved.
At the moment, because this does not impact me very much, apart from being annoying, i do not have many suggestions on how to improve the functionality. Maybe others have
