Studio 2021: No error flagged by QA checker when editor segment does not match TM?

Question

Hello Trados Community, 
 I am almost certain that the Studio QA checker used to flag an error if the content of a segment did not match the content of the TM - i.e. same source text but different translation in segment vs. TM. 
 In Studio 2021 the QA checker does not show an error for this. I can only see an error if I coincidentally happen to be in an affected segment (the TM window then says that the TM and segment have different translations). 
 Has anyone else noticed this issue? Is there a workaround, or a particular QA checker option that I need to set for this to work? 
 I really need the QA checker to flag these issues as I have 2 different completed projects with similar content - and the translations in the Master TM are the ones I need to use. 
 Thanks in advance for any pointers :-)

 I don't believe there is a QA check as you have described. But you can use the translate to fuzzy option: 
 
 Open your document and then confirm the first segment with this option. It will run through the file and stop whenever the entry in your TM is different to the one in your file.

 I would say the best thing to do is vote:

 The more people ask for this the more likely it is to make it into the product. I actually doubt it's that difficult to implement so it's probably just a question of priorities. Maybe it's something that a developer might pick up as a plugin to implement an additional verification check with a report. I'll add that to our list of apps... which only means it's added to a long list! Then if we get to it before someone else does we can look at it.
