Why we often can't see other players sit on furniture

I also reported this ingame, but I wanted to share this here in case people wondered why that happens. We tried around a bit and it seems you can only see other players sit if your character is standing very close when the animation takes place. Otherwise he/she is just standing in front of the chair. We tested this with different characters and settings and with Addons on and off. So far it's a 100%. To clarify: it's about characters taking place on furniture like chairs and benches, not by emote.
Should you wonder why this is even important, well, it is important for RP and apart from it, it's not working as intended. A fix would be lovely. Thanks.

EDIT: I was mistaken! It's not the distance! It's the "line of sight". If there is any object in the way between one character and the other, the sitting-down animation doesn't play. The object doesn't have to block sight, but only has to be in a straight line between characters.

    If you haven't already post an in game bug report with all the information you have, test cases, even links to video so ZOS can see the issues from your side of things.

    Of course I reported it ingame. :)
    I created the thread to share what we found out so far with other players, in case anybody wonders about this as well.

    Sitting worked fine during our last vAA run when we were collectiong bags and chests. I think everyone sat on the bench instead of looting the sack placed on it :tongue:
