Short description of error
The thread length is always less than the specified "Thread length".

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Go to side view, create a bolt. If you count on the grid, you will see that the length to the head is less than indicated in "Thread Length". In any preset. And in different presets this length will be different. And in the M12 preset it is generally difficult to use because of the "Shank Lenght" parameter, which spoils the overall length.
In the screenshot, I alternately chose the M * preset and set the length to 20mm.

I can confirm that. But the actual thread length is a discrete multiple of the number of turns that are derived from the thread length given to the operation. So this may just be an expected result.
