I have not seen this problem in my copy of the game....
so sorry, can't help you here....

One definate bug i did find is when you throw out a ring/sceptre of gain
stat that isnt wielded, it will lower that stat by two as if you had
thrown it away when it was wielded.  be careful, wield all
rings/sceptres before throwing them out.(don't worry, you'll learn
quickly)

Gosh I asked the self same question to the net just a few weeks ago, so
don't feel bad.. this is the answer I got:

	the heal spell will work on only one specific part of the person
you are trying to heal.  As you go up levels, however, this part gets
larger, and therefore easier to find.  when you hit major heal, it
doesn't matter where you click and it does a major heal on everybody.
