It looks like the containment boundary is defined in the front view.  Change your CPlane and TPlane both to Front and regen.  Now look from the front view and you will see that you machine everything outside the "D" shaped containment boundary.  That is because you have enabled the option to include the silhouette.  Using a silhouette boundary AND a containment boundary gives you a checkerboard effect (in, out, ...).  Uncheck the include silhouette option and regen and you will see that you machine everything inside the "D".   As filed, in the Top view, you are machining everything in the silhouette boundary and the containment boundary looks like a straight line in Top view and is (quietly) ignored.
