Description

Hello,
I attacked a Vigilant Kipee and a Mean Kipee linked. I was unable to defeat them, so I wanted to join the water.
Problem, during five seconds, I was walking to the water but I didn't move and I was blocked in front of the deep water area.
This happened three times yesterday and today.
I run the GNU/Linux client.

That's actually not a bug. You can't go into the water while you're still in an armed status (I assume you were using a melee weapon). The easiest way to get into the water in those situations is to unequip your weapon, and then you'll be able to go into the water.

So the bug is when it works ? Because sometimes I can also flee in the water with my sword...
But if this is the real bug, you don't have to fix it, I like this bug :)
Thank you for the explanation.

So, it's not that you can't go into water with a sword equipped, it's that you can't enter the water when you're on the verge of doing an action (what I called the "armed status", though I think it's actually called something else). It's just that often when you have a melee weapon if you didn't cleanly stop fighting it won't let you enter the water because it thinks you're still fighting.

I tried to withdraw my melee weapon when I want to flee and it works.
Thank you.
