As a senior dev I can confidently tell you that isn't a bug. The code was written to do it that way, and the code is right, so it must be right. Maybe there is a bug in what you think it should do.
The only difference between bugs and features is documentation.
But there is no documentation
It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I've learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.
It's a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say "I can change that but it's not a bug. It's what was requested for this to do last year. Here's the discussion" It's surprising how often that results in "Oh yeah, that was for x. Let's not touch it." Or "oh that's not a quick fix, let me come back with more information" etc
