The Interrogation jewel doesn't work with Hexblast spell

EDIT: NOT A BUG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fqmZRQzykA
This short video shows that when socketing The Interrogation jewel, the ailments stop working.

https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Hexblast
The skill can apply the ailments:
All Damage can Ignite
All Damage can Freeze
All Damage can Shock


https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/The_Interrogation
Once socketed the jewel says the following:
Cannot Ignite, Chill, Freeze or Shock
Critical Strikes inflict Scorch, Brittle and Sapped


The character in the video has 0 chance to Ignite/Freeze/Shock but he manages to do so because of critical strikes. As we can see in the video that enemy's ailment threshold is low enough for the ailments to have a significant impact. Yet once the jewel is socketed, nothing happens.

Thank you for great game.

This is working correctly. "Cannot" modifiers will generally override "always" or "can" modifiers. In this case, Interrogation's "cannot inflict [ailment]" will override Hexblast's "damage can inflict [ailment]", resulting in no ailments being applied.

Also, normally, Scorch, Sap, and Brittle can only be applied by fire, lightning, and cold damage respectively. You would need a source of "all damage can scorch/sap/brittle" for Hexblast to inflict those ailments (unless you also get flat elemental damage on your Hexblast).
