Charts 8: XP11/12 flight plans only include airway endpoints

Charts Desktop
1

Flight plans exported for XP11/12 from Charts 8 don’t list waypoints inside airways; only endpoints are included. However, using the previous Charts version, the flight plans included waypoints inside airways:

Flight plans exported for MSFS2020 do include all waypoints, as they should.

This problem is a very serious regression from the previous Charts Desktop for XP11/12 users.

More info about this problem:

I created a flight LEST–>LEVC using both Charts 7 and Charts 8, with autoroute, without SIDs nor STARs. The autogenerated route is LEST DCT FORNO UN733 ZMR UL155 NVS UM871 ABOSI DCT LEVC. And this is the route as shown in Charts 8 (with all the waypoints along the airways):

Then, I exported the flight plan for X-Plane 11/12 from both Charts 7 and Charts 8:

From Charts 7:

Finally, this is the flight plan for MSFS2020 exported from Charts 8, which does include all waypoints along the route:

Obviously, something is broken in the Charts 8’s XP11/12 export code.
