Not sure this would be considered a bug.
It would prevent jumping in the UI, yes, but on the other hand it would show buttons that do absolutely nothing for you (if there is no modifier...)

@WilliamReynish: got an opinion?

Generally we gray out such buttons.

But this is an add-on, and we don't track such UI suggestions / paper cuts in the bug tracker for them. The minimum required UI standard for them is not as high.

@BrendonMurphy and @VukGardasevic last worked on this add-on, they might want to fix this.
