Excavation issue - if attacked while excavating, buttons don't work after exiting excavation

When I reached the excavating site I was forced to kill some spiders due to their proximity to the excavating site. I was excavating a purple item so I took a bit longer that I took with lower qualities items and the spiders respawned while I was almost finishing excavating. They engaged combat with me and the game forced me out of excavation mode and to my surprise all my combat skills were frozen, I only managed to kill the spider by bashing it several times. After combat I tried to start excavating once again but I couldn't, none of the buttons of the controller did anything. I was even forced to restart the app since I couldn't even logout, only the button that trigger options menu and PS button were functioning.

    If you have a keyboard attached to your console (ie wireless keyboard) I was able to \reloadui and get the screen unlocked that way, but if you rely on your controller to access in-game chat for the \reloadui command you'll be stuck.

    Also had something similar happen when accessing the tutorial while scrying. Closed the tutorial and it gave me a prompt that exiting the scry would lose all progress, but I couldn't close the window or do any other commands other than toggle the "special" skills. Ended up force-dashboarding the game and logging back in. (I did not try the keyboard ui trick in this instance).

    This issue needs to be addressed asap.

    Hi all,

    We are aware of this and have a fix for it in progress. It should go in with the next incremental patch for PS4 and Xbox One.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom has this same bug been addressed for PC/Mac with controller mode as well? It was not just on console.

    I had to fight the mob kiting with light attacks only because none of my other buttons would work after the excavation canceled when I was attacked.
