Hi, first -- thank you for your software! I am working with paired end sequencing on a pool of fragments that contain a large proportion of fragments shorter than the reads. This leads to soft-clipping in the (proper) alignment. Unfortunately, when filtering paired reads using the -l (linked region) flag, proper read pairs get included that do not overlap the given locus.

I've provided a MWE:
For illustration, using ASCIIGenome:
You can see the mapped portion of the reads do not cover the locus of interest.
