STARsolo intergenic reads as same as antisense #1733

Hello developer:
I use STARsolo to analyze SPLit-seq data. My command is:

STAR \
    --runMode alignReads \
    --soloCellFilter EmptyDrops_CR \
    --runThreadN 16 \
    --genomeDir ${star_index} \
    --readFilesIn ${R1_fq} ${R2_fq} \
    --readFilesCommand zcat \
    --outSAMattributes NH HI nM AS CR UR CB UB GX GN sS sQ sM \
    --outSAMtype BAM SortedByCoordinate \
    --soloCBwhitelist ${barcode_list1} ${barcode_list2} ${barcode_list3} \
    --soloType CB_UMI_Complex \
    --soloCBposition 0_10_0_17 0_48_0_55 0_86_0_93 \
    --soloUMIposition 0_0_0_9 \
    --soloCBmatchWLtype EditDist_2 \
    --soloFeatures GeneFull_Ex50pAS \
    --soloMultiMappers EM \
    --soloCellReadStats Standard \
    --outSAMunmapped Within

I use --soloFeatures GeneFull_Ex50pAS, and use the output file Solo.out/GeneFull_Ex50pAS/CellReads.stats to calculate the ratio of intergenic regions and antisense genes.However I got exactly the same reads. I calculated it like this:

intergenic = genomeU + genomeM - exonic - intronic
antisense = exonicAS + intronicAS

Is it because the reads aligned to non-introns and non-exons are classified as antisense?
Thank you!
