activity calories not included in total calories

Why are the calories from activities not being included in the "active" calories and therefore also not the total calories?
In the screenshots attached you can see that my hike today was logged as 699 calories, yet my "active" calories shows only 425. Same thing with other activity types, e.g. running, cycling, etc.

    There is already a thread for this problem: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?360959-Acitivity-calories-do-not-add-up
    If you add an activity manually it is included in the total. Everything you record with your tracker is shown in the activity overview but the calories are not included in the total result.
    I do not know how something like this can happen... At some point somebody has to test the software before deployment ?:(

    Here is a better explanation of what is wrong.

    There is one view where the regular calories and the activities are displayed correctly. Garmin Connect => Calories in/out=> activities.

    As you can see below it lists my other training(strength), my running, and my steps. The steps only account for 565 cal. In addition with my running and other activity it shows the correct sum of 1317 calories.

    All other activity and calorie overviews display the wrong result for the total calories. The bottom part of the attachment shows that the activity calories are included in the walking calories AND displayed a second time on top of these calories.
