I would expect full AR cycle from a ADSR when triggered with trigger only. 
The only modular EGs I own are the MOTM-800s.  They are set up to hold the
gate high with no gate applied.  So, the A and D knobs function as A-R
envelope.  The release control does nothing as the gate never goes low. 
The sustain needs to be all the way down or the output voltage is biased at
the sustain level at all times.

Bottom line, triggers can be stretched A-R style.
