If you end up d/c'ing while in a fight it appears to break any ability to act for choosing stuff or anything and causes the item belt outside the fight to disappear. I believe it can be fixed by relogging outside of a fight but if with a group that pulls you into another it leaves you unable to do anything completely leaving to either wasting turns or closing out the client and letting the party leader control you via total control or auto ending turn if it's off.
Not sure of the exact cause for it, had my client disconnect briefly and than I wasn't able to choose anything with mouse click or keyboard, the confirm & cancel keys didn't get any response either.

I've been trying to find conditions to reproduce this but haven't been able to do so, at least on version 2.97. If anyone can do so on that version, please let me know the specific circumstances. Otherwise we can hope it was fixed.

This bug is still occurring, as an aside. PL has Total Control.
Player disconnects. Then reconnects.
They are now unable to do anything.

Just had this one happen, again, in 2.98v2.
Still a thing, seems whatever change was made completely locks a person out of using their character for the remainder of the fight.

This continues to happen any time a player disconnects off their turn, another player gains control of them for their turn, and then they reconnect. It just completely obliterates your ability to do anything.
At this point it might be prudent just to disable the ability for players to control disconnected players at all, and make the 'stares at nothing' timer shorten dramatically for offline players that have already lost a turn to it.
Because currently the only way for a party to continue to play with the bug active is if the disconnected player simply quits the game and doesn't rejoin until the battle is over. This is not ideal.
