The fifth stroke of "熱" in simplified

Does anybody else think the AI has a hard time getting this right? Even when I trace it, it still takes a few tries to get it.

BTW, the word means "hot". I set my typing to traditional in the heading so the simplified is slightly different.

I've adjusted the fifth stroke slightly, does it give you an easier time now? (If you're using the iOS app, to see the change immediately you can clear your local data through Settings>Account>Clear Local Data).

Here's a scratchpad link to test it out:

Did you edit for both simplified and traditional version? I just tried out the traditional version which is the 10th stroke and it seems only a little less picky.

Anyways thanks for your help on this. I didn't realize deleting the cache would need a 15+? mb download. I'm currently roaming and every mb costs extra money. But regarding the problem, it seems like I'm the only one noticing this. Thx again for the help.

Edit: I just found an old post where someone had this problem on similar strokes which I just posted on. It seems the problem is not entirely fixed.

I finally got to the simplified version of "re4" and it has the same problem with not much improvement. The workaround for this fifth stroke is to do the last upward swipe in advance and towards the right instead of straight up.
