Does anyone else has the issue that you want to pick a lock, and it actually does not work? Menaing clicking on the left mouse button does not push the pin down? The only option I have found so far is /logout reload and hope for the best... Am I the only one?

    Usually only happens when I go into combat as I START to pick the lock.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    I have that even when not starting combat. I dont seem to be able to pick a lock at all... very frustrating in IC :D

    I used to have this issue. Problem comes from adds ons "most" of the time (invisible addon ui/window above the lockpicking ui)
    I remember a /reloadui was enough to correct this bug.

    What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead. We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I’m stranded somewhere without any pants.

    If I remember correctly, those of us on Macs had this problem when we did not have the game in full screen. Does that sound like it might be the issue? That was a year and a half ago though, so I dunno.

    The only substitute for victory is overkill.

    I find this happens only with chests in the IC. The mouse controls become much more unresponsive and it's 10x harder to pick a simple lock.
