Seeking with rating ranges doesn't work?

I don't know why, but that seems new.

First, anytime I click on the seek button, the default rating range is 800-1800, regardless of what I used the game before.

Second, even if I change it, it seems to remain at 1800. I change it to 800-1400 every game, and yet I keep playing against 1700+.

What's up with that? New bug or what?

I have prepared a video showing the bug. I'm seeking for a 800-1400 bullet game, and I get paired against a 1700+ player.

What's the proper way to report a bug? Should I list it on github?

You can't search for 800-1400 game when your rating is 2200. Lichess will automatically set it to +- 400 your rating, and 2200 - 400 = 1800.

@thibault maybe i have misunderstood, but wouldn't +-400 be 1800-2600?

Apologies in advance if I misread.

It'd be nice if it were made clearer then... because it's new, and there's nothing in the UI preventing me from trying it. There's no way to tell otherwise.

Edit: Also, as TwoIsGreaterThanOne pointed out, right now I'm seeking for 800-1800... I am not sure how that helps. And it's casual games that I play. I'd understand if rated games were within the "critical" zone of +/- 400, but for casual? Anyway... I don't really get it, but something's not right (maybe the idea is not implemented right -- why put the max at 1800 instead of the MIN at 1800?, and definitely the UI needs to be changed if those rules remain).

Also @thibault in the video @seigneur is rated 2201 and playing against a 1737-rated player, i.e. more than 400 points in difference... So I don't think ±400 is what's going on here.

The max rating must be at most 400 points below your rating
The min rating must be at most 400 points above your rating

The max rating must be at most 400 points below your rating The min rating must be at most 400 points above your rating

@optilink Doesn't make sense.

If I'm rated 2200:

"Max rating must be at most 400 points below your rating" translates to "max rating <= 1800".
"Min rating must be at most 400 points above your rating" translates to "min rating <= 2600".

Actually, that might be what we see right now ;) (but that doesn't make sense).
