Speed dial will not auto-call on my HTC One M9

[AC Question]

I have added the contacts to the wanted speed dial numbers, but when I push and hold that number it just pulls the number up but does not automatically call. Any ideas?

Maybe it's "a feature, not a bug" kind of thing? It pulls the number up, but allows you to not actually call it? (It would be strange, but I don't have an M9 to check it out.)
