textplot_wordcloud() with comparison = TRUE split not max.words evenly by groups

Describe the bug

I would like to create a wordcloud in which the most used words are displayed by groups. Unfortunately, the maximum number of words is not evenly split between the groups like it is writen at the docs: "The maximum frequency will be split evenly across categories when comparison = TRUE.". I couldn't quite figure out what the split is based on, but it seems to have something to do with the relative importance of the words within each group.

Reproducible code

Dataset: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/L4OAKN

Bundestagganz <- readRDS("Corp_Bundestag_V2.rds")
datenneu1 <- subset (Bundestagganz, date <"2018-01-01")

datenneu1 %>% 
  corpus %>%  
  tokens(remove_punct = TRUE, remove_numbers = TRUE, remove_symbols = TRUE) %>% 
  dfm(verbose = FALSE) %>%  
  dfm_group(groups = party) %>% 
  quanteda.textplots::textplot_wordcloud(comparison = TRUE, max.words = 10,title.size = 1)

Rplot01

datenneu1 %>% 
  corpus %>% 
  tokens(remove_punct = TRUE, remove_numbers = TRUE, remove_symbols = TRUE) %>% 
  dfm(verbose = FALSE) %>%
  dfm_group(groups = party) %>% 
  quanteda.textplots::textplot_wordcloud(comparison = TRUE, max_words = 1000 , min_size = 0.1, max_size = 1)

Rplot02

Expected behavior

My expectation is that max.words describes either the maximlae number of words per group or the maximum number of words in total but then split evenly between the groups.
