"Enemy" mode targetting

I play MRD and tank as much as i DPS. So i use the "Enemy" mode to target mobs for both tanking and DPS. However on more occasions than i can recall, in a multi-mob fight, if our healer cures us while swapping targets, i automatically target the healer.

I realise this occurred before the patch but when u have the enemy filter on, it seems crazy that it is possible to target anything other than an enemy.

It causes me to mash cancel and retarget which all takes additional time and could mean the death of a party member.

I cant understand in what scenario i would need to be auto-targetting the healer other than to perhaps tip my hat in gratitude with an emote, hardly something that is important in the throws of a fight (although im always grateful that u healers are keeping my squishy butt alive lol).

I expect this post will get moved to General Discussion by an admin as doing this allows them to ignore the problem for longer lol

BTW, get well soon Japan, our thoughts are with you in this difficult time :)

Not exactly a bug, but a valid point nonetheless.
