[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19525] Problem when combining coordination numbers as one collective variable

Dear CP2K developers,
    I'm trying to use the &COMBINE_COLVAR section in CP2K (version 2022.1) 
to combine two coordination numbers as one collective variable (CV), and 
output the Lagrange multipliers of this CV. However, I encounter problems 
in both the AIMD simulation and the Lagrange multipliers. I update an input 
file as an example to explain these problems. The input file is for an AIMD 
simulation of a simple system containing 64 water molecules. The difference 
between the O-H coordination numbers of the O atoms in two water molecules 
is chosen as the CV (by using the &COMBINE_COLVAR section). It is 
reasonable to set the difference to be zero, i.e., these two O atoms have 
same O-H coordination numbers.
    However, after each MD step, CP2K output several warnings with same 
text:

More seriously, all outputted Lagrange multipliers (both Shake and Rattle) 
are equal to zero:

I am wondering if there are any problems in my input file, or in CP2K?
Sincerely,
Xu Wang
