Wrong icons over characters

This is a most vexing issue. They have icons over their heads also when doing nothing at all. During the first few battles with this beta build, I kept wasting a lot of time not realizing my men were doing nothing because they had icons overhead suggesting they were busy with some ability.

Hey Madscientist!

 

Are you using Smart casting for this issue to occur? Or is this when you Issue orders simultaneously? Any info you guys can provide would help a ton in reproducing this issue!

 

You the best,

In this image I had my characters walk to the enemy, press pause and enter each ability manually.

 

Later I used the AI menu to apply buffs automatically ( disciplined barrage on fighter, lightning strikes on monk, . . . ) and ordered spells and special attacks manually.

But I think that some of the icons were wrong all the time.

I can provide some more context for this bug, or at least a similar one.

 

First of all, I had all AI scripting turned OFF.  When I first enter into battle after loading a save, I get this:

If I use a special ability, then that special ability will not clear out of the icon when it is done:

This can make it seem as if it hasn't gone off yet if one isn't paying attention.

 

Finally, if I start another combat with the same save, if a character used an ability at the end of the last fight, it'll appear again at the start of this one:

If a save file will help, I can attach one later on.

It is quite frustrating, too. I used this icon in PoE I to know when an action was complete. I've wasted more than one spell thinking I was finished and moving on to the next action. Or worse, not noticing my guy is done and he is just standing there doing nothing.
