A suggestion for stealth.

I know that there're a fair few bugs associated with stealth (crouched and invisibility) but there are a number of actions that can be performed whilst stealthed that break it and make you visible (one is rolling which annoys me as I liked the stealthed forward roll in Skyrim).

Something that's particularly annoying is that whenever a window opens to allow the player to take something (ore from a ore node, contents of a chest or container etc). a stealthed player stands up and becomes visible.

A couple of recent incidents in soloing Craglorn highlight this. In the first instance I spotted a chest in the middle of the range of 3 or 4 powerful MOBS; I could quite easily stealth in and pick the lock, but the minute that the chest opened and the window appeared showing its contents to be taken, my character stood up and announce his presence; I was dead in seconds. In the second I was collecting crystals for a quest; I spotted a crystal in the middle of 3 Storm Atronauts and managed to stealth in without being spotted. Upon pressing 'E' to take the crystal a window popped up showing the crystal to be taken and up I jump effectively shouting "here I am!"; again, I didn't last very long.

Why can't we use stealth to sneak in an steal things in this way; it seems to be one of the things stealth was made for?

Might I suggest that the Devs consider looking at this at some point?

    You can only hope the new justice and stealing system will fix or change this.
