Walk activities missing in Active Calories report

In the Active Calories report, calories from Walk activities are missing. And calories from daily steps are shown as "Walking".

Example from December 22:
If I open Daily Summary go to the Activities tab and scroll to December 22, I had active calories from 4 sources:
Walk activity: 59 Calories.
Cycling activity: 154 Calories
Cycling activity: 682 Calories
Daily steps: 130 Calories
Total: 1025 Calories

If I open the Total Calories report, I see 1025 active Calories. So this is consistent with the Daily Summary.

But if I open the Active Calories report, the 59 Calories from the Walk activity have disappeared. And the 130 Calories from Daily Steps are labelled as "Walking". Total active Calories in this view is only 966 Calories.

This also happens on days where my only activity is a Walk activity. For example, today I have so far 41 Calories from Daily Steps and 316 Calories from a Walk activity. So in the Total Calories report I can see 357 active Calories. But in the Active Calories report I can only see 41 Calories.

All other activities seem to show up in the Active Calories report. Cycling, Running, Swimming and Paddling (the latter shown as "Other"). Only Walk activities do not show up.

I wonder if Garmin got themselves confused and first labeled the Calories from Daily Steps as "Walking", then started adding all the activities, and when they came to the Walk activity, someone said "Oh, someone else already added Walking. Then I don't have to."

See about similar issues on this post:

E.g. I see that the total calories in Reports section summary include cal from all activities, while separate graphs like active calories don't.
The same problem exists when the calories goal as displayed in startpage view or in Goals does not show all calories as it misses activities looged from Strava while if I go to the Reports section and set up a year summartm it shows all calories including Strava imports.

Yes, there are a lot of different errors/peculiarities in the calories count. I have also experienced the one where the total active calories count is lower than the timed activities from that day. And there is even one screen in Garmin Connect where you can see both in the same screen. See how the calculation below doesn't add up.

I have the same problem. During the last week, the Active Calories graph has "forgotten" to count two very long walks - one of 2 hours and 16 minutes at 684 kcal, and one of 1 hour 35 minutes of 590 kcal. For those two days, the first is showing 261 kcal burned (corresponding well to a second walk I did earlier in the day), while the second day only shows 89 kcal burned.

It still shows the activity names for the forgotten activities down in the list below the graph though... it's just not counted. They are both counted if I go look at the Total Activity Time graph instead.

My vivoactive HR lost all the data from this morning. Also last weeks challenge results email directed me to the week before and last week results are no where to be found. I had to fitbit hr for two years now and not once has data been lost and it has never rebooted. I received this as a father's day gift and I constantly have to remove apps and re-install to get them to work. I feel bad for my son who gave it to me but this thing is going back.
