HBC AIV Helperbot5 issue – is the bot misunderstanding partial blocks and/or rangeblocks?

Hi JamesR, I just saw this edit by HBC AIV Helperbot5, where the bot removed a report on an IP where the range had been partially blocked from a number of pages. The current vandalism was to a different page so it was not affected by the rangeblock (it is an IP hopping long-term abuser, so blocking the individual IP might not have helped anyway, but the removal was still incorrect). In addition, as you can see the edit summary looks messed-up. I notice that there is a report higher up on this page about a broken edit summary in this edit, which looks like the exact same issue (partial block for an IPv6 range, an IP from that range vandalising elsewhere, report on that vandalism immediately removed by HBC AIV Helperbot5 with a broken edit summary), so it looks like something that might need some kind of tweaking or magic dust sprinkled over the bot.

@Bonadea: Thank you for the report, I am aware of the behaviour and it’s not ideal. I will be looking into this very soon. — JamesR (talk) 12:33, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
