Auras' and "show aura" option Does not work on controller

When bringing up the menu to reserve/activate skill, selecting the aura to "on" for allotted spirit cost will show activation animation on the skill but the cost meter does not change.

After which, "activating" the aura does not appear to take game affect regardless of the aura indicator not being present(tested the possibility that even though it was not showing in the UI, it was still working).

The aura skills tested were, forgive me for butchering the names, Minion death and Fire Palm.

Also, checking online shows this to be problem with others as well.

Just FYI, I had the same problem doing this on PC with a controller. I think it's broken at the moment. What I had to do is log out, switch to mouse and keyboard. Then logged back on with my character that I wanted the aura activated on, I hit G to go to the abilities or gem, right clicked and activated the Aura. That worked, and created the icon at the upper left showing that it was activated, and I also had my ice shield animation around my character now. I then went back to the log on screen and went back to controller, logged back in. From that point the animation and icon have remained on. Hope this helps and hope they fix it in the next update !
