Indexed assignment with logical indices: subarray.jl error

Hi,

I have run into an error that I do not quite understand:

I have a BitArray whose entries I want to change based on another array

A = BitArray(rand(0:1, 3,3))
pos = randn(3,3)
A[pos .< 0]  .= 0

This yields the error message:

ERROR: ArgumentError: number of indices (1) must match the parent dimensionality (2)
Stacktrace:
[1] check_parent_index_match(parent::BitMatrix, #unused#::Tuple{Bool})
@ Base ./subarray.jl:43

[7] top-level scope

The indexing works without an error, the error only appears when I try to assign the new value.

Thank you for any ideas!

This is a bug. Could you open an issue please?

Okay, thank you for the quick reply - will do!

Thanks! Ref #45903 and #45904.
