Geometry: angle measure bug?
Am I doing this incorrectly?

1. Home Setup indicates that angle measure is in degrees (System setting?)
2. Starting Geometry app with cleared variables.
3. Symbolic setup indicates Angle Measure is using System setting, and small green indicator in upper right confirms this.
4. Created a triangle in Plot view, then through Cmds soft key, asked for Measure->Angle and input the three points of the triangle.
5. "angle(GA,GC,GB)" in top right gives result in radians
6. Changing (but not just viewing) angle measure setting in Home Setup or Symbolic Setup to degrees results in Plot view reporting the result in degrees as desired.

Why is the command not using the system setting in the first place? This happens as described above on both my calculator [fw 2.1.14433 (2020 01 21), Hardware Ver. D] and the HP Prime Virtual Calculator in Windows 10 [fw 2018 02 12 (13441), Hardware "Emu"]
