RelatedItemsXTD always shows 5 articles

Hi, I'm working on upgrading my website from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4. I have installed J4.2.9 on XAMPP and am testing. Using PHP8.1

I've installed RelatedItemsXTD 2.4.0 and it's working well - except that whatever number I set for maximum items the module always shows 5 items. This is the case when I set a number less than 5 or a number higher than 5.

I've experimented by uninstalling RelatedItemsXTD 2.4.0 and installing version 2.3.0 - but the same problem occurs.

Have any others users had this problem? Any advice?

Really strange. Do you have cache extensions or any related activated? Have you tried to clear your joomla cache?

Because this is a development website on XAMPP I don't have any caching enabled.

I installed version 2.4.0 on another (earlier) development version of the website (also on XAMPP) but that shows exactly the same behaviour. Always 5 articles, not the count selected.

I even tried editing the file RelatedItemsXtdHelperTag.php and hard coded the variable $maximum but it made no difference - still 5 articles!

Bizarre!

Can you show me your module settings, so I can try to replicate it

I've experimented with many different settings, not just the ones I actually want, but the number of articles shown is always five.

At the moment the settings are as follows:
