If there appears to be a bug in the released fixlets, is this the appropriate place to ask, or should I open a ticket with HCLFederal?

I ask in relation to the DoD Banner fixlets, in which it appears -impossible- to add the text to look for. Once setting the text, and hitting ‘Update now’, it never appears in the relevance clause to be checked. In fact, I don’t seem to be able to set this at all.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
