Printing thread with MK4

Since a few weeks I switched from the MK3s+ to the MK4.

I have the latest Firmware, alpha with shaper

I use the latest Prusaslicer RC1.

I slice with the "normal" MK4 profile not the profile with "alpha".

With the MK3s+ i could print threads, inside and outside Ok wann bigger than M5. M3 and M4 mI always threaded with a tap afterwards.

With the MK4  the outside thread is OK (screw) but the inside thread is too narrow (nut). I tried with M20 and M12 both modelled with Fusion 360. Only when I rethread the M12 things work perfect. It looks the thread is not deep enough (height of the thread). I tried both with PLA and PETG with different filament profiles and brands.

Do other people have the same problem?
