Bedford, Virginia standardization issue when using source linker

Whenever I use source linker and have places such as Bedford, Virginia, among a few others in Virginia, selected as the location, it always shows as non-standardized when going to the profile after source linking. This is the case in both instances if I fill in the information on Source Linker or if the information auto populates from what is indexed. Can this be fixed so I no longer have to go to the person's profile after attaching the source and having to fix it to be standardized? Please remember, the Source Linker shows the standardized options have been selected so I'm not selecting a non-standardized location. I have a scenario below. I entered the birthplace as Bedford, Virginia and made sure to select the county. The marriage license location also autofilles to Bedford based on what was indexed. When going to the person's page, the Birthplace and Marriage License location both show they need to be standardized, but again, they already were. Please see the attached images to better explain. Again, I hope this be fixed. It is a major annoyance for me as I have lots of distant family members from Virginia and have to do this often.
