    No bugs.

    1. Assuming you've left the project's "hours per day" at the default value of 8, then your critical slack threshold of 6 days is 6x8=48 hours.
    2. On the two tasks selected, the Total Slack is 2.63 elapsed days x 24 hours per elapsed day = 63.12 hours.
    3. Since 63.12 > 48, the two tasks are not Critical.
    4. For these tasks to show as Critical, you would need to increase the critical threshold from 6 days to 8 days (i.e. 64 hours).

    In this case, your true Critical Path might be difficult to discern without tracing the driving logic.

    Good luck, tom
