Bug: Urgent Issue With Abilities Stopping Movement (reproducible)

A new bug seems to have been introduced in 11.1, which will always cause your forwards or backwards movement to be canceled and locked after changing your form, or dismounting. This is 100% reproducible. This happens with all ways of moving: running with a keybind, holding left-click + right-click, or using autorun. I’ve seen this happen to other people as well.

This not only stops you moving, it keeps your forward/backward speed locked at zero until you release the keybind, mouse, etc. This seems to only happen for forward/backward movement - if you are going forward and strafe at the same time, this bug will stop your forward movement, but you will continue to strafe.

Examples:

  • While mounted and running forward, dismounting by pressing my mount ability stops my movement.
  • While mounted, if I’m walking backwards and drink a mana potion, my movement stops.
  • As Shaman, while in Ghost Wolf and running forward, casting Riptide stops my movement.
  • As Shaman, while in Ghost Wolf and running forward, casting Ghost Wolf to cancel it stops my movement.

I don’t know what the policies on reporting bugs on this forum are versus just providing feedback, but this is so urgent that I think it deserves a post instead of just an in-game bug report. Hopefully it also helps the people that say that they sometimes “run into invisible walls” understand what is happening.
