Floating Backwards issue

So, after playing around on PTS for a while, on several occasions I was just floating backwards for a very long ways. We've seen this backwards float thing here and there like being in a spot on the map, but I've now had it after being hit and not able to play as I floated.

I'll try and get some video of it, but it doesn't seem predictable yet.

Anyone else experienced this?

    Just kind of slide backwards for 10m? I get that on live. Can't figure out what causes it, but it's happened 3 times in the last week. It reminds me of the fall animation when you slide down cliffs. Except it happens on flat ground...

    ^ If this is the issue then I can confirm I get it on live as well now and then. Most recently while working through Craglorn with a guildie, one minute I'd be there fighting and then all of a sudden I'd freeze up and slowly slide away backwards for a few seconds. Even being killed by enemies chasing me in my frozen state wouldn't stop my corpse from continuing to slide away, it was pretty funny the first couple of times :D. Not sure what causes it though.

    Happens on both poison arenas in vMA. Hoping it is not in some way related to poisons, because if it is then we're in for a bad time here soon.

    Interesting. I have seen it happen on live, but I experienced it several times in a very short period on PTS.

    Also, in 1 of the instances I must have slid back 50 meters, the other 2 were maybe 10 to 20 meters.

    Yep, it varies a lot for me too. Only slid back a couple of metres a few times, but in one of those Craglorn delves my corpse slid a very, very long way backwards down a lengthy corridor.
