If anyone else is experiencing this, and i've found youtube videos with plenty of comments saying they do. I "fixed" the issue by going back to the original swap bar keybind. I had changed to mouse up, which tbh, is a lot more effective and fast. Anyways, i had been contemplating giving the game a break over this bug because it's tremendously annoying, but apparently switching back to "`" took care of it.

Not sure if it had to do anything with the fact that i changed the keybind, or that i specifically used the scroll up for it. It's not my job to test that sort of thing, the people who have to don't do it though.

The mouse Scroll wheel was neither intended nor designed to serve as a toggle between two states, e.g., Autorun on/off, or Swap bar1/bar2. It was designed for continuous movement in either direction (forward or backward) to scroll lines of text or the content of an image, such as a Map of Tamriel.

With some mouse designs, pressing the Scroll wheel straight down instead of rolling it, or tilting the Scroll wheel to the right or to the left, enables it to be used as a "button". With that usage, the press or tilt might be bound to toggle between two states.

By the way, when you post a bug report, please identify the platform and megaserver on which you play TESO. ZOS cannot investigate your report without that information. If you really want ZOS to do something about a problem, then please read and follow the Guidelines For Bug Report Forum instructions on how to make a meaningful and useful bug report.

Enjoy!

1st, my email or username should be enough for them to track my account. 2nd, i mentioned mouse, any rational human being will link that to pc. 3rd, you can bind the mouse wheel to whatever you want, therefore it is intended for whatever you want it be. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't let you bind the mouse wheel to anything else. Again this is stuff they should be testing.

Keep making excuses for the failings of a multi-billion dollar company.

Enjoy!

Same problem here, and its not limited to a special keybind issue as it happens with the default ~ button for me, although perhaps certain keybinds might increase the chances of it happening for some users.

Was quite odd and silly running around shooting arrows with my great sword and cleaving with my bow.

It seems to randomly happen from time to time but I noticed it happening more often after mounting. I played with it a bit and am now able to fairly reliably cause the front and back bar visuals swap by switching them as I'm mounting (time it right and the bars swap but the visuals don't; seems easier to trigger on some toons than others). I'm assuming that this issue is a client-side only one, as its only affecting what you see and not what's actually being used.


On a related note, there's an additional weapon issue that only affects two-handed weapons where, after entering a delve, the weapon is no longer attached to the normal hand socket, but is instead defaulting to the root socket (ie placed at the character's feet). Switch bars to a different weapon and its held in-hand as normal, switch back to two-handed and it defaults back to root. This issue is frequently happening when entering delves (and stays until I relog), but not always; I'm not able to find a definitive trigger for it.

In one instance, I had both of these issues at once where my weapon visuals had flipped and when on my two-handed bar, my opposite weapon (a bow in this case) was at my feet.


This is on PC NA (for those unable to infer from my reference to using the '~' key above or my sig below)
