[1.03] Escape not working

[JohnnySideburns]

It reads on the Rogue ability "escape" that they break engagement and expertly avoid the next attack. 

However I when I see my opponent getting ready to use knockdown, and I use "escape" I do disengage, but the evil fighter knocks me down from across the room.

 

Expected result: using escape to... escape

 

Actual result: getting struck despite 4m gap

I seem to have the same issue. Escape is completely useless and I fear I have wrecked my rogue by taking it. The skill is extremely clunky in use and I don't think it's ever even worked.
