Incorrect slenderness ratio for angle section

While designing the member using CAN/CSA S16-14 code. The slenderness ratio (KLR) parameter appears to be calculated incorrectly by STAAD. (refer attached snap) 

The hand-calculated value comes out to be 1483/20.2 = 73.41 while STAAD reports 107.133. Consequently, the compression capacity appears to be underestimated by STAAD.

I am using version 20.07.11.45. Is this a bug?
