Possible bug? JQL of status not working by name

Hello:

We have a rather large instance of Jira Cloud, and I have a user who could not use the WAS operator to search for a particular Status...by the name.

The status: In Review

JQL Query: project = "FR" and status was "In Review"

When we tried other statuses in the same project (In Progress and Prioritised) we get results.

I went to the Statuses and found the ID of the status (16412) and when I search by that ID #, I get returns:

JQL Query: project = "FR" and status was 16412

When I tried different operators (=) for this status, I also get results:

For some reason this WAS operator does not like In Review for the name of the status.

While troubleshooting with my user, we found out another Status (Ready to Review / 11100) is also encountering this same glitch.

I didn't know if others had experienced this issue.
