Not A Bug Bug: Shalai and Hallar as Commander

Hello!
I've discovered a potential bug in MTGO. I currently have a commander format deck with Shalai and Hallar as my Commander.

Their effect reads, "Whenever 1 or more +1/+1 counters are put on a creature you control, Shalai and Hallar deals that much damage to target opponent."
The damage is calculating correctly, however it is not registering as Commander damage as I believe it should. I've ran several solo matches in order to confirm and this issue is consistent.

Thank you!

Only Combat Damage counts towards Commander Damage as per rule 104.3j.

"104.3j In a Commander game, a player who’s been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same
commander over the course of the game loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule
704. See also rule 903.10.)
