Dependency List is showing too much information

When I load dependencies for an object, I get it narrowed down to the things I want included and then I want to export a PDF of the dependency list. So I have specifically hidden some of the objects that I don't want included. Then I go to create the PDF and the document it creates specifically says at the top "Objects and dependencies that are not visible are not included". However, when I look at the dependencies listed, it is still including objects that I set as hidden. I can see in the `Objects in project` explorer that the objects in question are definitely unchecked in the 'hide/show' column but yet the object still is listed in the output. I have tried this with file groups, schemas, stored procedures and other object types and they all seem to not be removed even though I have set them as hidden.
Can this be fixed so that only visible objects are included in the dependency list as it states on the PDF that is generated?
Thanks!

Hi @adam_hafner
Thank you for your patience whilst this was escalated - I can confirm that a fix for the dependencies showing in the PDF export has been included in recent release V3.4.2.
Can you please patch at your earliest convenience and verify this is now exporting as expected for you

Fixes
Download link for V3.4.2 available here:

I am not sure if you want to track this as a separate bug, or open a new one?
I would confirm that the PDF export is working as expected now though. Thanks!
Image & PDF export types all have the de-selected objects excluded.
I've re-escalated this concern and anticipate this will be amended in a patch release.
Will come back to this post with any updates.
