I have entered only one power setting (Max Cruise) with several levels.
The airspeed type I chose is True (TAS).
Of course the airspeed depends on the level.
I then planned a flight with  a cruise at a high level, and a step descent due to airspace.
On the plog each level leg is shown with the Seal Level TAS, and the time for each leg is calculated with that TAS.
Climbing and descending legs are shown with a climb speed or a descend speed, but level legs are shown with the SL TAS.
Have I forgotten a parameter somewhere? Or is it a bug?

Usually when people think there's an error in this calculation it's because part of the leg(s) in question is in a climb or descent. Please contact customer support if you think that isn't the case; they can talk you through it and if you send them the route and aircraft profile they'll be able to explain what you're seeing.
