KM,
Thank you for the explanation with a fantastic illustration. You are absolutely correct, the drop wasn't working properly. I had it reducing the waist to hip length but not the crotch depth. So the left side got strange (as shown in your second illustration) without actually changing the length. I believe that I have corrected it now and it should work as expected.
I understand you entered the negative value (-5) just to get some results, but you will want to use a positive value to get the drop. Negative will actually raise it, which I'm sure you know.
If you see anything else that looks off, please do not hesitate to ask about it.
