OPNsense 20.1.5, OSPF by FRRouting, Networks tab useless

Hi!
Through some testing I came to conclusion, that Routing->OSPF->Networks Tab is useless. I'm not sure if it's OPNsense fault or FRR's.
I have lo3 interface addressed as 100.127.127.127/32. If I have it configured on Networks tab, "sh ip ospf data" shows:

                Router Link States (Area 0.0.0.200)

Link ID         ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum  Link count
[...]
100.127.127.127 100.127.127.127  791 0x80000005 0xe511 3

but "sh ip ospf data router" does not show:

    Link connected to: Stub Network
     (Link ID) Net: 100.127.127.127
     (Link Data) Network Mask: 255.255.255.255
      Number of TOS metrics: 0
       TOS 0 Metric: 0

Also, neighboring routers don't have the LSA , they don't receive it at all. The only way to see the stub network LSA is to configure ospf on "Interfaces" tab. If I do this, it does no longer matter if I use the Networks tab, or not.

Has anyone experienced this issue? I haven't use FRR on other operating systems, so I have nothing to compare with.

You can compare the output in disgnostics - running config.  For simple stuff Interface only may be enough
