Rating range is now disabled on "Create a game"?

I just tried to create a game both via the "Custom" and "Create a game" buttons on the homepage. The modal opens but the rating range is disabled so I cannot change it. It used to work. Bug?
correspondence and unlimited both have no rating range but real time does i think
Oh, if you hover it now says that if you're provisional you cannot use the rating range. I guess that's a new feature because it worked recently.
But, the problem is that it's still applying the rating range that I last selected... so now I'm stuck looking for a very narrow range!
Well, if you know how to use developer tools on a browser, this is easily bypassable.

Not really. "Those range are ignored anyway by the pairing system."
Not according to the box that appears on the homepage after I submit the modal. It shows the range I selected. Maybe the system is still ignoring it.. I don't know. I haven't been paired yet..

The system is still ignoring it server-side. The change was made so that rating range actually met users expectations.
