Scourge Arrow on low/zero mana gets character stuck (unable to move)

Hi!

After today's patch my Scourge Arrow skill became buggy.

Problem:
Scourge Arrow gets character stuck in channeling animation. During this state the character is unable to move but can use other skills (can raise totem, can Blink Arrow).
While stuck, the stage 5 Scourge Arrow animation plays infinitely. It looks like only the animation plays because there is no channeling happening (no square shaped channeling indicator thing on the top left corner).
The only way to get out of this buggy state is to try to use the skill again and after a random amount of times everything is back to normal.

Where:
Everywhere. In hideout or on any map.

Reproduction:
1. Be anywhere.
2. Start channeling scourge arrow. Reach stage 5 but don't let it go off.
3. Wait until mana gets fully depleted. Still don't release skill's hotkey.
4. Stage 5 scourge arrow gets shot because mana reaches zero. Still holding the hotkey.
5. Several stage 1 scourge shots happening due to zero/low mana level. Still holding the button.
6. Release button and the character gets stuck randomly in the animation. It's not happening every time but easily reproducible after a few tries.

Outro:
Please fix this bug. My level 91 character became close to unplayable because anytime there is an intense fight and my mana reaches zero I get stuck and get insta-slaughtered.
During the creation of this bug report there were no other bug reports found reporting this bug.

For more info please feel free to contact me.

Thank you!

Bumping this as its happening to me as well....still.....
At least it's listed in known issues so I hope they'll fix this in the next patch.

"
Channelled Skills: Can get in a stuck state where they 'putter' where they may not stop channelling to release the skill.
