{F139335}System Information
Windows 8.1, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.73 b4d8fb5
Worked: (optional)

In particle edit mode, individually added hair strands seem to disregard Segments parameter.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

In modifiers, add a particle system to an object and set type to hair. Change Segments from 5 to 10. Under Emission set Number to 0.

Enter Particle Edit mode. Using Tools, add a single hair. The hair has four segments and five points.

It is not a really bug. It is just the UI of Add Brush settings that is bad.
If you check Interpolate option of the Brush, two settings Steps and Keys are no more greyed out.
In fact, you don't have to check this options to modify theses settings.

Keys is the one that control number of points of particles added by the Add brush.
By default, it is set to 5; it is why only four segments are created.
You can change it to 11 to add hair with 10 segments.

To help developer in charge of making UI of Add Brush consistent ; 3 screenshots.
They are explaining that 3 options are not connected at all.
