Default extruder and its wrong? color in list (self designed printer)

Hi,
I'm using the prusaslicer for 6 month now for my self designed dual extruder cartesian printer and am quite happy with it.

Sometimes I'm confused about extruder colors used in the print bed view.
I couldn't find helpful hints in the documentation.
It could be a bug but before opening an issue in github I want to be sure.

My assumption:
- In settings a color is assigned to the extruder number
- In print bed view below "Filament:" a configured filament color is shown together with extruder color
- In print bed view below "Name:" the model is listed together with the extruder color


In the attached screenshot in model list the magenta extruder is shown (A).
But after slicing in the preview windows / tool view the the model is shown in red (B).
In gcode also the red extruder is used.
So the "magenta extruder" in model list is wrong.

If I change the extruder manually from default to 1 or 2, the assignment is correct.

As far as I tested, this happens if in print settings the extruder numbers are all set to #2 (in my case red)
When I start the prusaslicer app and load a model, a default extruder is set and its color shown as #1 (in my case magenta),
gcode is created for extruder #2 (red)

The "problem" is not a big one, but if I forget to set the extruder manually and rely on the shown extruder color,
the printer starts with the wrong extruder.

Is this behaviour a bug or did I miss something?

Thanks!
