dimensions in s/e not always associative

Why is it that some building elements in section/elevation windows are not associative?

For example doors and windows: you can click right on a node, it will dimension to it, but the point in the dimension string is not associated/live.
Raise or lower the window the dimension string has to be manually updated.

Slabs, meshes, roofs, walls all work fine.
In addition to doors and windows library parts also will not be make associated dimensions.

Is there a reason for this?
Is this a known bug?
Will it be fixed?

After I posted the above I realized it is just the Smart Parts elelments that are the problem.
