• Opening and closing the Text Chat or Build menu with an equipped Offhand/Hold/Toggle item may cause unexpected behaviour – If the player has an Offhand, Hold or Toggle item equipped (Shield, Spyglass, Macrobinoculars, Torch, Map or Food), opens the Text Chat or Build menu and then closes it, their character may display unexpected twitching animation.
