No great circle routing in Quick Planner?

[b3burner]

I tried a Quick Planner route from San Francisco to Baghdad, Iraq just to see if it would yield the proper great circle route over the pole (and/or very close to it), and instead it directed me straight across the U.S., Atlantic, Northern Africa, and into the Middle East... as though it was assuming a flat world.  Is this a known bug in the program, or since its primary design is for short flight VFR usage, it's presumed that I must find the proper way points to create a polar route on my own?  I'm kinda' new to all this, so I'm still getting the hang of it.

Thanks,

Yes it's a known problem in the current release.
