Calling player made to show cards at showdown

Sorry if there is already a thread about this, couldn't find one. Using Poker Mavens 6.32 Gold - 64 Bit.
One of our players noticed that the order of showing cards at showdown wasn't what he expected. Here is the play from the flop, with 2 players in:
** Flop ** [9c 8h 7s]
donisfattoo checks
kathyh checks
** Turn ** [Kh]
donisfattoo checks
kathyh checks
** River ** [4s]
donisfattoo checks
kathyh bets 462
donisfattoo calls 462
** Pot Show Down ** [9c 8h 7s Kh 4s]
donisfattoo shows [4d Ah] (a Pair of Fours +AK9)
kathyh shows [Ks 3s] (a Pair of Kings +987)
kathyh wins Pot (1849) with a Pair
When players go to showdown, the player who made the last aggressive action (a bet or raise) is obligated to show their cards first. In this hand, the calling player (donisfattoo) was made to show first, even though another player made the bet (kathyh). This doesn't seem correct. In a casino, the calling player would have had the opportunity to muck without showing, since the better was ahead. Is this fixed in a later version of the software?
