Wrong order status with Bank Transfer option

Hello again... week debugging mode...

Using OC 3.0.3.2.
Default Bank Transfer payment extension.

When I use the Bank Transfer option on Checkout, although it is defined to set order status to "Pending" in HOME>EXTENSIONS>PAYMENTS>BANK TRANSFER, when the order is confirmed, it shows as "Processing" in the order details.
But the notification email I receive as the seller, has the status Pending.

I tried changing the settings to Processing status when using Bank transfer and the order status is Processing.

I looked in the forum but only found this issue related to OC2.X.X.X (don't remember exactly which).
