It will put chat messages if either of these - or the range is > high (won't stop the attack its just informative - if you do damage it will still do it per hit/miss roll). If the attacker is using something with "crossbow" in the name and has the "Crossbow Expert" feat they will not have the 5ft disadvantage applied. If they have the "Sharpshooter" feat (or "Fighting Sharpshooter Mastery" feat - for SW5E - which is the real reason I'm adding this mess for my game) they will not have the low/high range disadvantage applied. The option is defaulted to off so if you turn it on you will have to restart the app (like some of the other options) in order to get it applied. If its on when you start the app then you can turn it off and on and it will work. The reason these (restart app) options are done this way is they override critical functions that will usually stomp anyone else who uses those same registered handlers. So I make sure if you turn them "off" and then restart the app - they are no longer overriding that handler. No other way to really do it. If you don't want this - just leave it off.
