Roll dodge backwards when moving forwards

I saw this mentioned in an old post.

Two issues.

• A few skills appear to have some sort of snare, so that when you cast them you momentarily stop moving.
• The other is that holding the forward key while cancelling this skill results in a dodge roll backwards

Leeching vines is the skill I am using. I would be interested if others have this happen to them or it is my isolated case.

I have dodge roll bound to my middle mouse wheel- roll down
I am holding the w key fully depressed constantly.

• When moving forward, casting leeching vines results in a brief pause where my character stops moving.
• If I try to dodge roll cancel leching vines while holding the forward key, I roll backwards
• If I try to bar swap cancel leeching vines I pause as if I was moving forward

I can dodge roll cancel other skills while moving forward.

Is this intended?
