BUG: Deathbone vs Poison/Flaming Arrow

has that ability that causes 3 damages to anything that kills him.
The arrows cause damage at the beginning of the poisoned/burning ally owner's turn.

The catch of this bug is: when I cast one of the arrows on Deathbone

, the hero ho takes damage is the Deathbone

's owner. Should it not be the arrow's owner?

I think technically the arrow is an ability, and it doesn't apply to kills via abilities (I think).

But then why would Deathbone

's owner get damaged? It's definitely a bug.

This also happens with Death Trap

and poison/flaming spells (can't remember their names).

When you kill him with an ability it is considered that your hero used it to kill Deathbone

, thus damaging your hero.
It seems that the game has a wrong code that consider the owner of the effect that causes damage (or death) the hero in the active turn, that would explain why it only occurs with abilities that cause damage (or death) in your opponent's turn.
