Caught in the Act

Electricity and Magnetism Level 3

When the simulation of the circuit shown in the figure below was done:

I found this

The current does not pass through the resistor in the AB branch, why is this happening?

The voltage source gives a very low current due to high internal resistance of current source. I think current should pass through the branch AD, the simulation is wrong. The voltage source acts as short circuit so no current passes through branch AD. Half of the current through the current source cancels the current of the voltage source
