Mercenary Weapon Swap issues

Issue: Mercenary does not fire their crossbow attack upon weapon swap.
Requires the reloading of a separate skill to begin firing again or using the weapon swap key prior to firing, not working with the default weapon sets or 'use this weapon with xyz skill' sets.

Steps to recreate:
1. Have a crossbow skill ready to fire
2. Bind any attack that uses a different weapon and use that attack
3. Attempt to use the original loaded crossbow skill

Result: Mercenary swaps weapons and gets fully locked out of firing any attack.

To fix the 'lock' you can either dodge roll, or use the automatic swap from the secondary weapon attack again then manually weapon swap back to the crossbow and then begin using the expected crossbow skills.

*edit: Possibly only broken in hideout? Seems to work as expected within a map.

+1 - Same issue here while trying to utilize the raise shield skill. Character appears to be stuck in shield raise skill but the weapon showing as equiped is the crossbow being held up.

Im having the same issue, however it is both in hideout, maps and campaign. I also cannot break the lock by dodgerolling.

In effect my character cant shoot anymore at all. LOL bug, just completely prevents me from playing.

Edit: not even relogging or restarting the game changes it. My character simply will not shoot his crossbow anymore at all xD

I am trying to swap also to no avail. It just locks the skill and goes to weap 1 set. After that i have go in inventory, press the item 2 and it just does it again no matter what i tried. Started having a headache and logged off. Btw this happens to me on map.

I found using crossbow shot is what swaps the weapon between 2 crossbows, but like the shield person says, if i swap from bow to crossbow i get stuck in a walk animation until i dodge roll.
This happens to me in HO but not in maps. Can only be reset with a Dodge Roll or a log out.
+1 - while using staff with crossbow in Hideout.
This is still a huge problem, literally soft bricks my character

Yup, bow to crossbow. Char breaks.
Mercenary.

Also experience this.
Want to mention that character stance with crossbow changes as if he still holds melee weapon.
