Small bug in the new puzzle layout

I just noticed a small bug in the new puzzle layout.

This concerns the little green and red score marks of previous puzzles played that are shown below the board. Normally, plus scores (solved) are shown as green and minus scores (failed) as red. However, if you re-do a puzzle you got wrong the first time and put in the correct moves this time, it will later show with the minus score, but with green colour.

Here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/fRcpgi0
Notice the second-to-last score on the bottom: it's a -16, but it shows up green because I went through the puzzle a second time (to check some engine lines) and entered the correct moves this time.

The bug is reproducible, here's a screenshot I made after also re-doing the last puzzle: https://imgur.com/pWdekAg
(Notice how the -8 score has now also turned green).
From the "It's Not A Bug; It's a Feature" department:

Maybe that is intentional to indicate that you indeed HAVE solved the puzzle correctly. The score remains negative because retries don't go towards your rating.
That's right, the first time counts for the score, otherwise we would all have 3000 points.

I'll wait till a dev chimes in, but I'm almost certain that's not the intention. The point of that overview is (in my opinion) to quickly show how many puzzles you got right and wrong in a session. There's no added value in showing that you managed to play the correct moves in a second attempt.
It was tongue-in-cheek. No, I don't think it's supposed to work that way either.
Oof haha, guess my sarcasm-o-meter needs calibrating.
Bonifratz is clearly vibrating between the whole as a hole and the fragmentation, alzout he is not fragmented.
