LTM tcp client profile does not set idle timeout to the configured value

Some, of the users waiting for report, reported that they are receiving timeout and do not get the report. I checked the connection table and found that some of the connections show idle timeout as default 300s. The timeout setting was 1800s on the tcp profile.

I then created a new profile with 3600s and and applied it to virtual server. But still I see some connections with idle timeout set to 300s.

Is this a bug in 11.4.1 HF7.
