That's most likely the problem. I did the same thing the first time this happened to me and also found it didn't help at all.
Quick answer: Just doubleclick the action once to start attacking, that should put the action on auto-repeat.
Make sure to do it fast enough or it'll be perceived as two single clicks, leading to the situation you describe. Also don't click the action any more after doubleclicking it, as this cancels the auto-repeat and thus also leads to the situation you describe. If you do get in that situation, just doubleclick again to reactivate the auto-repeat.
Now for the long explanation:
How melee attacks work (and ranged attacks should work):
- Using a melee Action will put you in attack mode.
- Being in attack mode causes you to constantly use your default attack.
- Clicking a custom melee Action once moves it into the queue, and it'll be performed instead of the next default attack.
- Doubleclicking a custom Action puts it on auto-repeat, and you'll constantly use that Action instead of the default attack.
But how ranged attacks really work:
- Using a ranged Action will put you in attack mode.
- Being in attack mode causes you to constantly use your default attack.
- Clicking a custom ranged Action once moves it into the queue, but it'll never actually be performed. You'll hapilly keep doing default attacks.
- Doubleclicking a custom Action puts it on auto-repeat, and you'll constantly use that Action instead of the default attack.
- But clicking that Action again, while it's on auto-repeat, cancels it again and you'll go back to doing default attacks.
