HDL FIFO accepts three more pushes before signalling full

I'm trying to understand the operation of the HDL FIFO. See an image of my test system below.
![FIFO test system](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1219032/FIFO%20test%20system.png)
It has a register size of 5 in FWFT mode. The push_signal is [0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ....], that is, true every 4th sample. I use this because it seems there's a 3-cycle latency before the FIFO empty signal drops. I guess this is imitating the hardware behavior. (Actually the 3 cycles only happens at the start - when it goes empty later, there's only 1 cycle of latency)
The strange thing happens when I gate the push signal on the not_full signal. "Full" is not asserted until there are 8 pushes (1 cycle after). But it's supposed to only hold 5 elements!
The pop_signal is the same as push_signal except delayed by 36 samples. When I pop until empty is asserted, I get back all eight elements that were pushed. It's as if the block added 3 to my register size. Seems to happen no matter how big I make the FIFO. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help

Signal graph below; I hope it's readable.

Can you share the model? thanks

FWFT mode seems to have few extra registers that can hold up to three values past the specified size of the RAM/FIFO. I have created a task to update the documentation.
Please reach out to tech support for additional help or requirements on this topic.
