XF 18-55 aperture ring changing aperture even when is Auto

[MATL]

Hi everyone. 
I have the XF 18-55 in a XT2. When I set aperture to AUTO on the lens, the camera keeps changing aperture from Auto to Manual by itself. If I move the aperture ring the numbers on the display turn blue (manual) and then turn to auto again (white). If I change aperture to manual on the lens, the camera works fine. I only have this problem when I set it to Auto. Am I missing any setting or the lens might have some issue?

Thank you in advance.

When you do this, does the f-stop go through the full range of available choices or does it only change by one or two stops, then goes back to being Auto?

In other words, can you move the f-stops from say f2.8 to f22 or does it just change by a stop or so before going back to Auto?

If you can move the full range, then something is odd, but if you can only change a little, then that is normal.

Hi jerryy,
I can move the full range, from F2.8 to F22.

That much override should not happen.

I guess you get to choose whether to just live with it or try to find out if it is the lens or the body.
