PotThunder Population Issue

I have experienced issues in the extended (day 4-7) range of the Forecast Builder, in regards to the PotThunder grids. 

In the Step 1 GUI, I have selected "Highlighted Time Range" for both the start and ending periods, and selected to start at Step 5 (non-precip types). On the following screen, when I ask it to initialize the Thunder grids, instead of doing only the designated time frame, it is starting in the Day 4 period and going up through the highlighted time range. 

Typically I will go through the Wx grids in 12-hour blocks and run the FB on those time chunks only. The issue I mentioned is wiping out changes I had already made to the PoTThunder grids. However, when Step 6 is executed, it only is running the selected time frame. 

I included an example, in which I had highlighted Day 6 daytime, but it rewrote the Thunder grids beginning at Day 4 night.
