Healing Rite cannot be self cast when quick cast is turned on

[majestiic]

Quick cast removes the ability to use healing rite on self. Had to turn quick cast back off to use the item.

I couldn't self cast even with disabling quickcasting.

Some items can't be quick cast.

What let me self cast was holding down the self cast button, and then using the item.

Frustrating, and I've had to leave multiple games due to me thinking my items weren't working correctly.

had this happen too, chose to disable quick cast. not being able to use mouse wheel up or down to self cast is another issue for me.

i just tried setting items to quickcast, buying healing rite, holding the self cast button to use it before pressing V, and it worked fine

I think this is more an issue that the game allows you to turn on quick cast while still using a control scheme like double tap or hold press for the alt cast modes. They might have to have quick cast listen for the key release while the controls are set to those modes.

As for a workaround right now,
I use the alt-cast/self-cast keybind mode to get around this. I can press C to rite an ally or M5+C to rite myself.

Because that works right now, if valve were to change the double tap / hold press modes to listen for key release, they could leave the alt-cast keybind mode's quickcast the way it currently is, listening for keydown, without any loss of functionality.
