Scatter shot bug?

After playing Ranger I noticed something about Scatter Shot and wanted to chime in, to see if this is a bug or not.

In the options menu under combat, there is a section that allows for Hold Ability Behavior. This option gives you choices on how Hold abilities work in the game. Either hold it manually or press it once and it holds until pressed again or a combo of the two.

Scatter shot initially is not a holding ability but after putting in another skill point, it becomes a hold ability. After getting the augment passive that makes it a hold ability, the Hold ability Behavior options don't seem to affect it, and wanted to know is this a bug or intended.

your thoughts, please!

    Yes very true, but I'm talking about the way the skill operates with the options for held abilities For example Mage has a lightning strike, and if you hold it you get more damage. This ability does work with the options. This is what I'm trying to ask with scatter shot with its augment passive skill. I personally do NOT want to hold down the bottom until it fires off, I wish to just press it let it cast, and go off at full power in a line. Hence why I think the options are there. I tend to not ever use the scatter part of scatter shot all too often in a PVE situation.

    The option doesn't work with scatter shot. Hopefully they fix that soon, As I also prefer to press once to charge ... then press again to fire.
