Ranged attacks ignore hard PvP target if attacker is not PvP and alternate target nearby

Trying to flag PvP with a ranged attack...

Attacker is not PvP flagged
Hard-target (double-click) an avatar who is flagged PvP and in range
(Have alternate targets nearby and within range/arc, e.g. chickens, stag, mob etc)
Have targeted avatar dead center and right in front of you
Fire ranged attack

...it will ignore the hard-target and instead hit the alternate, less-centered target

 

This is my 2nd most hated bug and it's worth noting it also applies to healing.

It's like "I know you purposely targeted and looked directly at your party member friend who is dying... But I know you secretly wanted to heal your undamaged pet bear"
