Mouseover Soulstone won't work on a dead ally in combat. It casts on me instead.

Describe the bug
I have a mouseover macro for Soulstone and it works fine when casting on another living player or on myself. If I try to cast it on a dead player, it instead casts it on me.
The macro is made with the "Cast spell on a unit frame" type of macro and I am only attempting to target unit frames when using it.

Reproduction Steps
- Cast Soulstone on a dead ally
- Be confuse as to why it casts on you instead

It tells me this and just makes the person my target when I click on them without doing anything else.
Another problem is that I still need it to work on a living target if I want to soulstone them too.
change your targeting to macro target, and uncheck unit target. set your macro target to @mouseOver, friendly, dead.
Hey. I have this same issue without having self-cast enabled on blizzard's end. A work-around to this is to target the player who you want to cast the soulstone then press the clicked's keybind for it, only while in combat. Out of combat it does the normal behaviour.
So I looked into this a bit and got almost the same behavior, for me it actually just doesn't work if the target is dead even out of combat, but only when I have a target selected. If there is no target selected, it works fine.
I was able to reproduce this issue using the native Click Casting system, and even manually typing /cast [@mouseover] Soulstone in chat.
There is a very similar bug going on with a few other spells at the moment, I know about at least Divine Toll for Paladins not working correctly with @mouseover macros, because it will just go on the selected target. This is likely that same issue.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about this as it's a bug on Blizzard's side. What I did to fix Divine Toll myself was to create a custom macro within Clicked with the following contents:
/target [@mouseover]
/cast [@target] Divine Toll
/targetlasttarget
You can replace the Divine Toll in there with Soulstone, which should work. I did not have time to test this myself at the moment, but I am fairly certain it will work as it works for Divine Toll.
/target [@mouseover]
/cast [@target] Soulstone
/targetlasttarget
Do you perhaps have the self-cast modifier set to SHIFT in the interface settings?
No. I do not have a modifier set. Even when I change it to ONLY cast on a friendly, dead target it still casts on me instead of them when they're dead.
