Weird getter name in the automatic generation of them by eclipse-cdt

In the specific case than the variable name starts by 1 character the automatic getter generated by eclipse remove this character, for example:

private:

int xVel;
int yVel;
int zVel;

generates:

public:

int getVel();  //<-- this return xVel;
int getVel();  //<-- this return yVel;
int getVel();  //<-- this return zVel;

and it is so annoying for me because creates 3 functions with the same name.

I google it and I didn't find a clear answer because the name convention, if I'm not wrong, says that the first letter is converted to lower case but no mention anything about remove characters. I mean, in camelCase convention the getter for variable xVel is getXVel() or at least I expect that.

The options that I can edit by preferences don't solve my problem:

Is it a bug? Is there some solution?

The versions used of eclipse-cdt are:

Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: 2018-09 (4.9.0) Build id: 20180917-1800

and

Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a) Build id: 20180405-1200

Both with the same behavior
