Heavy Attack Bug [PC Patch v9.0.6]

This morning I was tanking some random dungeons and I noticed that my Heavy Attack (sword and shield) kept getting stuck and would keep channeling even after I released the button.

Today is the first time that I've played since the new patch dropped on PC (v9.0.6), and this wasn't happening last week before the patch...

    I am having this occur using mouse and keyboard on snb and ice staff, even when I wasn’t heavy attacking in the first place.

    I am also using S&B and Ice Staff. And have noticed the same thing.

    Same issue. Heavy attack animation occurs even though I'm only light attack weaving. Gets stuck in heavy attack animation.

    Having the same on PS4 NA. Playing DPS and arms get stuck in a heavy attack 'wind-up' position. Subsequent attacks register damage but my characters arms remain in the wind-up position for ages.

    Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

    Xbox as well. But it is worse than just a heavy attack getting stuck.

    It locks into a heavy attack, even when you are just light attacking. I'll be light attack weaving with an inferno staff, when suddenly my character is stuck on a heavy attack. And then, once the heavy attack finishes, all of the skills I pressed before I realized it started the heavy will all fire at the same time.

    I've heard that this has something to do with your actions per minute. I frequently see this issue when light attack weaving, but did not encounter it on my Necromancer, where I weave notably slower. The forced heavy attack is unlike a normal heavy attack because it plays the full animation regardless of your button inputs, while a normal heavy attack will stop if you stop holding down the button.

    When the forced heavy attack begins, you also stop moving, which is a bit unusual, since you can normally move while channeling a heavy attack.
