I wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, but when using the OCC geometries I've noticed a difference in the assigned material names between NGSolve versions 6.2.2204 and 6.2.2301.
For example, running the included code should print Materials = ('mat1', 'air'). Using version 6.2.2204, this is exactly what happens, but using version 6.2.2301 I get the output ('mat1', 'default').
Am I missing something, or is this a bug in the latest version?
For context I've been running these tests using Ubuntu 22.04.
