Annoying combat mechanic with knockback

This has happened to me recently since I switched from dual wield to two handed. When I knock monsters back with Wrecking Blow it's quite common for them to go thru doors into areas I can't go like prison cells, etc. And while I can't even see or hit them they can fire arrows and spells at me. Has anyone else seen this and is there any way to deal with it other than moving away and forcing them to come back into visible areas?

    And now I'm seeing another weird problem. Sometimes when I knock an enemy down with a heavy attack after blocking their heavy attack they'll slide along the ground, sometimes into cover. I also get this after I hit undead or daedric enemies with Silver Bolts. Earlier this evening I watched a vampire Sorcerer slide around a corner on his back and I couldn't shoot him again. WTF is that about?

    Lol this happens with my destructive reach, hit an enemy into a colum and i couldn't open the chest next to it because every time i was close it counted as in combat : :(

    It's effing annoying. Any chance ZOS will fix this problem? Oh, wait, maybe we'll have to pay crowns to get monsters out of walls. I'm sure they'll make it work for that. :pensive:

    That's the only thing that really annoys me about ESO and ZOS, that they keep working on new content without bugfixing the old first. There's been bugs like this that's been around since beta, that have been bugreported thousands and thousands of times, but no one ever decided that it would be a good idea to fix those bugs.

    There are bugs with skills, even class skills, that turn them entirely useless, yet they just stay bugged while more gimmicks are released from the Crown store.
