Conda Encironment Propagation: Env from Settings not recognized nor selectable

Hi,

I was working with the verified component “Topic Extractor (STM)” which constantly failed with

ERROR Table to R           3:1476:0:416 Execute failed: Cannot determine major version of R. Please check the R installation defined in the KNIME preferences.

Upon debugging, by manually reconfiguring the Table to R node I got this:

ERROR Table to R           3:1:0:1793 Execute failed: Error in R code: 
Loading required package: stm
Loading required package: tm
Error: could not find function "textProcessor"
Error: could not find function "prepDocuments"
Error: object 'prepdocs' not found

Then I traverse the nodes and noticed the Conda Encironment Propagation node only recognized one environment

I have no clue where this env came from and why it takes precedence but the Knime settings clearly define the prefered one.

Here is more output in case anyone can spot (my?) the mistake:
