Hi,
Thank you very much for your report. I can confirm the problem.
Both, for bct and bco lattices (body-centered tetragonal or
orthorhombic) kgen enforced in default modes equal divisions of the
reciprocal lattice vectors (as it should be for bcc). This was not a
good choice and the selection made by option "-1" (mesh density in
bohr^-1) is correct.
I attach a modified bravai.f.gz file, which should be copied and
unziped in SRC_kgen, then recompiled (make; cp kgen ..).
PS: The prevous setting was not a problem if your k-mesh is converged
(besides the larger computational effort), but may lead to extra
inaccuracy for non-converged meshes.

Dear wien2k developers and users,
I am using wien2k 23.2 and working with CaFe2As2 structure which has
I4/mmm symmetry. I am trying to generate klist using kgen. The kgen
has several mode:
the 1st mode is to specify k-mesh density
/NUMBER OF K-POINTS IN WHOLE CELL: (0 for 3 divisions of K, -1 for
delta-K)/
/-1/
/ length of reciprocal lattice vectors (bohr^-1): 0.898 0.898 1.203/
/ Specify density of k-mesh in bohr^-1:/
/0.2/
/ Shift of k-mesh allowed. Do you want to shift: (0=no, 1=shift)/
/0/
/ 17 k-points generated, ndiv= 5 5 7/
/ delta-K (bohr^-1): 0.1796 0.1796 0.1719/
/KGEN ENDS/
/0.004u 0.016s 1:03.31 0.0% 0+0k 0+88io 0pf+0w/
As you can see, the ndiv=5 5 7
The 2nd mode is to specify number of k points
/NUMBER OF K-POINTS IN WHOLE CELL: (0 for 3 divisions of K, -1 for
delta-K)/
/1000/
/ length of reciprocal lattice vectors (bohr^-1): 0.898 0.898 1.203/
/ Shift of k-mesh allowed. Do you want to shift: (0=no, 1=shift)/
/0/
/ 102 k-points generated, ndiv= 10 10 10/
/ delta-K (bohr^-1): 0.0898 0.0898 0.1203/
/KGEN ENDS/
/0.026u 0.003s 0:09.41 0.2% 0+0k 0+344io 0pf+0w/
as you can see unlike -1 mode, the ndiv=10 10 10 which is even.
The 3rd mode is to specify ndiv explicitly, and here comes the problem
/NUMBER OF K-POINTS IN WHOLE CELL: (0 for 3 divisions of K, -1 for
delta-K)/
/0/
/ length of reciprocal lattice vectors (bohr^-1): 0.898 0.898 1.203/
/ Specify 3 mesh-divisions (n1,n2,n3):/
/5,5,7/
/ Lattice symmetry requires equal mesh in x and z direction/
/ Specify 3 mesh-divisions (n1,n2,n3):/
If I set ndiv as 5 5 7 as -1 mode. It just does not work. kgen insists
equal mesh on x and z. So I must input even ndiv like 5 5 5.
So the current issue is why the ndiv obtained with the -1 mode in kgen
is not uniform for the CaFe2As2 system, whereas ndiv obtained with the
k-point mode is uniform, and using the 0 mode, it's impossible to set
non-uniform ndiv at all？
finally, I am attaching the struct file of CaFe2As2 as below
