Posts Block Custom Excerpt Length not working

For Content, select Display Excerpt. The length field seems to be ignored when there is an excerpt – the entire excerpt is displayed. When there is no excerpt and the post content is then used, the length is applied.

It seems the logic is something like this:

// get excerpt else
//    get content
//    apply length limit
// return excerpt

It should be this:

// get excerpt else
//    get content
// apply length limit
// return excerpt

Aside: Please note in the length field that the limit is on words, not characters.

Thanks!
