Labio-velar plosives and velarized plosives have the same feature sets

When you filter by feature, the phoneme /kp/ and the phoneme /pˠ/ are identical (i.e., they cannot be singled out by features). This seems like it may be unintended, as the famously-African /kp/ and the /pˠ/ (which occurs in Irish) are not typically considered to be the same kind of sound. I don't know if this is a bug or "by design" but may not be known.

It's not by design. Thanks for reporting it. I'm on leave right now so it may not be fixed quickly, FYI.
