OK, I give up.  Maybe I missed something, but there are several of those little circular icons that appear on the player portraits that I don't grok.  Most are self-explanatory, like attack and move and spell-being-cast.  But what are:

 

- the elliipsis ("...")

- the clockwise circular arrow line;

- the empty circle.

 

I would have thought there's be a chart of these somewhere, or at least someone else asking this question where Google can find it.  Am I missing something?

 

thanks

I think the ellipsis is recovery where you're waiting to take an action, like if you switch weapons you'll notice it. No clue about the other two, never really noticed them.

The circular line with an arrow is reloading weapons, empty circle is doing nothing.

Ellipses are also doing nothing, I think the distinction between the two is primarily that ellipses is essentially "waiting for a command" and empty circle is when you aren't able to do something (eg. knocked prone). 

Above is right.

As an addendum, I've paid a bit more attention to it and the empty circle also shows when your character can't reach something, eg. he's ordered to melee attack an enemy but the path is entirely blocked by other characters (ie. it's a general "unable to act", not just when disabled in some sense).

You are lucky, since some time the action icon (on top of my character) disappeared, sometime I can see it, sometimes not...
