Phase Flow Options (Skip Ineligible) do not work due to Torso Twist

[Cornuthaum]

What went wrong

with the new dedicated torso twist button being available regardless of sprinting in shooting phase, and regardless of eligible targets for melee phase, none of the "skip ineligible" options in MegaMek phase flow general settings work as there is always one eligible button (torso twist)

What you expected instead

meks who have sprinted and meks who have nothing to hit in melee to be auto skipped via the phase flow options, as in .51 milestone

Steps to reproduce

load battle

sprint with mek a, have mek b stand in an open field, neither mek A nor mek B are skipped during firing/melee phases despite skip ineligible being turned on

might be searchlights actually and not torso twist but even then something is wrong - units are not skipped despite having sprinted and not being able to get any enemy into the torso firing arcs for searchlights, only allied units (whom you cannot illuminate with searchlights)
