Companion won't dismount

Any idea why this keeps happening? I can run around all day with my companion still mounted like this.

    I know you can trigger this bug reliably by starting to mount (so they start to mount as well), then cancelling your mount animation by doing an action (they continue their mount animation).

    I hope Zos don't fix it.
    #1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.

    In this screenshot I rode up to the stable master ( in Riften ), obtained training and walked away. All the while my companion was still mounted.

    That's happened to me a few times and always makes me chuckle. One of those bugs that doesn't bother me.

    It happened again today. Only this time I had to go into The Withered Tree ( in Riften ) to get her to dismount. Mounting and dismounting myself wouldn't do it. Notice how we are in the crafting area? This shouldn't even be possible.

    I didn't know that, and I can assure that I am not trying to do this on purpose.

    You would think that after a year ( or more ) of seeing this bug ZoS would at least look into it.

    The problem is, it's RANDOM, and you cannot fix random. I've never once encountered this problem with all the hours I play.

    Yes, for me (in the thread I linked) it was random, it only occurred twice (on separate plays) and I could never reproduce it after that.
