Edit: This issue seems to have resolved itself. Odd that it came up at all, though.
Recently, my rod of disarming has not been prompting me for a direction. It just apparently zaps the square I'm on, and nothing else, which is only useful for chests, and quite pointless for floor traps. What gives?

There's something about targets being remembered... but it should be possible to set a new target/reset target by targetting something manually I think.

This is a known bug with targeting. Press * then ESC to fix the problem (or log out and back in).

I have used them multiple times... idk what your problem was but mine work fine
