When I try to edit the distance on runs it just reverts back to the "predetermined" distance which is usually incorrect, according to the treadmill. Any ETR on when this issue is going to be resolved?

For one thing it will not record the distance correct on a treadmill to begin with.
If you are holding on to the bars it will not count accurately. Also you not covering an exact distance because you are not moving forward.

It explains it very well

That is not what I mean. For example, treadmill clocks me at 2 miles. Fitbit clocks me a 2.2miles. That is fine. When I try to go in and manually change the distance on the run it changes to 2 miles then immediately changes back to 2.2 miles and does not accept my changes. It reverts to what it thinks I ran regardless of editing the run.

What phone do you have @Macanudo? I thought only iOS was able to edit distance.
If course by setting the stride correctly the distance will be recorded correctly.
Your tracker has no way to measure your virtual distance while on a treadmill.
