Bow enchanting is broken

Bow enchanting is broken. When I put a bow in the enchanting interface, the type of enchantment switches to "Cast When Used". When I click the "Cast When Used" button, it won't switch to "Cast on Strike" and the button remains highlighted. This issue doesn't seem to affect melee weapon enchanting.
I first noticed this issue when I installed 0.46. I've installed the latest build of 0.47 a few minutes ago, and the issue is still there.

This behavior is intentional (it replicates the vanilla behavior), you're not supposed to enchant the bow on-strike, you need to enchant the arrows instead.
Edit: ok, well, specifically disallowing you to enchant bows is a fix from MCP, but ranged weapon on-strike enchantments don't work in vanilla anyway so the point stands.

Wow, that's a bummer. I noticed that fortify health was reverted too, in 0.45. Are these improvements ever coming back to the game? Maybe as an option in the launcher?

@Acrytex:
if you want anyone to take you seriously, then I suggest that you refrain from the behaviour's you've shown here:

Please update them to be more civil or they will be removed and your account banned. This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.

You all are... extremely tolerant of this and other similar childish, toxic behavior. Just again expressing my great appreciation for the countless hours of work the devs have selflessly invested over the years to benefit the Morrowind/TES community, entirely for free.

I didn't realize you needed to enchant the arrows
in the vanilla game
that is a pretty small difference
between bow and arrows,
it even sounds like it is naturally balanced
the way it was designed originally

Except that you can buy enchanted arrows in the vanilla game, thus it's definitely a bug rather than balance.

If someone else doesn't want to wait for the dehardcoding you can apply this patch to re-add on-strike ranged enchantments:
