Issue: When utilizing range on a damage effect, the range is ignored
Ruleset: PF1e

Code Used:
DMG: 2 melee; OR DMG: 2, melee

Expected Result: When a melee weapon is used, 2 more damage would be added. When a ranged damage is used, no modifications are seen

Actual Result: When the range ("melee") is added, no additional damage is applied.

Extensions?: Only the Modern Dark theme from SW.

This worked before the infamous 2/18 update.

EDIT: This appears to be an issue with 3.5, PF1e and SF1e. This is not present on 5e, nor either PF2es.

I have encountered the same problem since the recent UI update so I assume it may be related. I use similar effects for spells such as Lead Blades and Gravity Bow, or feats such as Power Attack and Deadly Aim, where the damage bonus should only apply to melee or ranged attacks respectively. For example:

Lead Blades

Code Used: DMG: 1d4 melee or DMG: 1d4, melee

Expected Result: Add 1d4 damage to the character's melee attacks to simulate increasing the damage of his warhammer by one size category from 1d8 to 2d6 (1d8+1d4 =2-12 damage)

Actual Result: When the range ("melee") is added, no additional damage is applied. The effect functioned properly before the recent UI update so they may be related.

Extensions?: Pathfinder Official Theme, Golarion Languages, and Advanced Bestiary

Here's a screenshot from my campaign. You can see the effect for the Gauntlets of Ogre Power is correctly applying the damage bonus for increased Strength (1d8+4 becomes 1d8+6 in the chatbox) but neither the damage bonus from Lead Hammer (aka Lead Blades) or Power Attack apply. As I stated before these effects worked correctly prior to the most recent update.

Thanks for reporting. The melee/ranged qualifiers for attack/damage effects will be fixed in the next ruleset update.
