Table short name and queries

Hey all. Using CI 4.2.6 and having some issues with trying to use a table short name in my queries.
In my model if I put:

PHP Code:

protected $table = 'mailing_suggestedchanges msc'; 


And do:

PHP Code:

$sugChanges = $this->mlChangesModel ->select('msc.ml_id, msc.created_at,')
                                    ->where('msc.is_active',1)
                                    ->findAll(); 


Everything works as expected. However, later on:

PHP Code:

$data = array(
      'is_active' => 0,
); 


PHP Code:

$this->mlChangesModel->update($id,$data); 


Throws this error:

Code:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '`msc`.`id` IN ('3')' at line 2

Removing the short name and updating the queries to use the full table name makes everything work again.
Any suggestions? Am I using the shortname incorrectly?
