Looting bug in dungeons

Since the last patch I get a looting bug sofar "only" in dungeons.
It happens very frequently - approximately 1 dungeon out of 2 e.g 50% +.
The dead mob is outlined in yellow but impossible to target and impossible to loot.
The only thing that helps is to log out and log in.
When I logged out/in for the final vet Boss (imagine that you finish a vet dungeon and can't loot the last boss !), I noticed a message that the fight was finished and X killed.

So I suppose that the reason of the bug is that the game considers that the fight is not yet finished even if it displays a corpse on the ground.
The bug is of course severely handicapping because the group might disband on the last Boss and there is not enough time to log out/in to loot the last boss.
Is there any fix for this bug ?

    This started to happen to me only recently while doing Overland content... and it happens frequently. It's not just that I cannot loot the body, I cannot interact with anything else that's interactive - be it containers or doors. There's no prompt appearing anymore.
    I can do a 'reloadui', though, which fixes it. The prompts are back when the UI has reloaded.

    A known issue that has existed for awhile that is getting demonstrably worse. For once ZOS recently acknowledged 😲 this loot issue and stated that if you dodge/roll you can loot. Not sure about the doors (which is also a worsening problem). I’d not thought to try this potential “fix” for doors until reading this thread.

    You want ‘better performance’ you get hundreds of other broken problems ... 🤦‍♂️

    I tried the dodge/roll ‘fix’ at a door in a dungeon that typically has issues. It did not work. The only thing that seems to work is to wait 20-30 seconds after the first person goes through the door. Then it allows others to interact. So many, many broken things in this game ...

    But hey, good news, new expensive trinkets and baubles in the Crown Store! Always plenty of time to make more shinies instead of, you know, fix the game.

    I've encountered this in both dungeon and overland content, the only thing that I've done for it to allow me to loot is either weapon swap or put my weapons away, hope they fix this though.
