Maintaining Depth with Silent Running

Anyone know if the sub is supposed to sink when in silent running over time? I advance time compression and it doesn't seem to sink. Also if I give order to surface it surfaces as well in silent running with engines at idle. Isn't the compressor supposed to be secured? Seems like you should see both the effects in long run if advancing time compression....take for instance following scenerios:

Order to Surface
-No Engines
-Silent Running
(Effect at x128: Sink slowly, compressed air remains the same)

Order to Surface
-No Engines
-Secured from Silent Running
(Effect at x128: should surface slowly, compressed air should slowly deplete)

Order to Maintain Current Depth
-No Engines
-Silent Running
(Effect at x128: should sink slowly, no change in compressed air)

Order to Maintain Current Depth
-No Engines
-Secured from Silent Running
(Effect at x128: Should Maintain Depth compressed air should VERY slowly deplete to simulate small adjustments to compensate with the dynamic motion of the sea)

Reason why this should be corrected....I notice this alot when I am bobbing up and down between venting sessions while on patrol in idle....I like to sit in front of enemy ports and act as a sleeping whale or dolphin and just bob up and down to get air while I wait and just listen for traffic. I noticed in time acceleration the behavior that doesn't coeincide with the above and was wondering if there is a fix for it.
