Raked PLO hands disregarding rake in pot size

Hi! I know this probably has to do with how rake is treated on the site, but from a game-rules perspective the rake isn't supposed to be removed until the end of the hand. Currently a raked hand of PLO (or PLH, I assume) cannot be 'full potted', it can only be bet to [full pot amount - current rake], which is not technically how it's supposed to work.

Is this a known issue that's going to be fixed eventually? It'd be pretty neat if it was.

Poker Mavens rakes on each betting round, same as they do at PokerStars.

I understand, but it still allows you to pot to the full [unraked pot] + [rake amount] size, not just to [unraked pot].

No, I just tested this at PokerStars on a 1/2 Holdem Pot Limit game. Seven of us limped in. It scooped 1 chip for rake and left 13 in the pot. I was first to act from the SB after the flop and the max it would let me bet was 13.
