Description
Hi,
I am using the 'kshape' method in your package.
However, I have met a bug that when the 'n_clusters' is set to a large value, the 'fit_predict' method seems to return wrong results.
For example, in the graph below I have set 'n_clusters' equals to 7,8,9,10 separately, but the number of the unique labels is different from the cluster number I set.
My codes and results are attached.
Please have a look.
Many thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported KShape example with n_clusters set to 7, 8, 9, and 10, then inspect the kshape fit_predict entry point and its returned labels. Compare the number of unique labels with the requested cluster count and use the attached graph and code to define the expected behavior.
