Animation error when weapon swapping from bow to dual wield

I noticed today that there is a visual error when weapon swapping from bow to dual wield. The weapon changes, but not the pose, and there is no animation of the swap.

When drawing DW, everything looks fine.

When swapping to bow, you get the animation of drawing the bow from your back, and it all looks normal.

But when you swap from bow back to DW, there is no animation, the weapon just instantly changes, and the hand position stays the same, as if you are still holding a bow.

This has no effect on combat, other than some confusion about which weapon you have out in the heat of the battle. After casting a DW ability or light attack, you return to bow position with the DW weapons out.

I have confirmed this on multiple accounts (though all running on the same machine), and did fully exit and restart the client, and issue persists. This is on the PC NA server. Maybe some others can try it and see if they're getting the same thing, and if it is happening with other weapon combos.

    Additionally, this does not seem to happen when a character is crouching. Only when they are standing.

    Yep, the devs know, was already posted here. Don't remember which thread, I dual wield/bow also. Luckily, skills work fine afaik. When will they fix it? Who knows.
