Paramo-O grid - Grid points tool issue

In paramo tool Grid Tool behaves strange way. If Count X or Count Y values are set to "1" nothing is shown in 3D. Only things started to be shown from value "2". In my opinion grid should not show anything if Count X or Count Y is set to "0".
Count X = 1, Count Y=2. Nothing in 3D.                                       Count X = 2, Count Y=1. Nothing in 3D.

Count X = 2, Count Y=2. Finally 3D starts to be shown.

Please don't tell that Param-O is expermental tool and because of that it works not like it should be. This expermental tool is already implemented from version 24.

Have a look at the 'distribute existing object' example here ...

This lets you multiply in a circle or a grid.

 

Change the 'GDL object' node to an object you have in your library and attach it to the grid example.

Downloaded example, but that one also showing nothing when I change COUNT to "1" - in this value all elements disapears. Same issue in this one.

A value of 1,5 on count x & y will show only one object (not very logical...)
