Can't use healing potion (bug?)
I can't use a great healing potion from my inventory. right clicking it bring up no menu, I can't throw it either. Other characters I use can, but not my main.

I am in battle with a bonus action available. If I right click small potion the menu opens but it does nothing on greater potion.

A similar problem with one of my characters not being able to use the smokegrenades. Other characters can but not the one that I use throw with... weird that certain items seem to be bugged for certain characters ...

anyone else run into it? Been like this for a while and I thought it was level related but at level 5 I think I should be able to use. Doesn't explain the smokegrenade being not being able to be thrown or right clicked.

I don't have any answers, unfortunately, but I've also been experiencing this bug.

Were you able to find a fix?

Did you try throwing your potion, or setting it down and shooting it? That works better anyways.

Nope! I've put them in a bag and put that bag in a chest in my camp away from all my other stuff lol,

Can't throw or use it in any way. No menu pops up when right clicked. I've placed them in a bag though and could move the bag out of my inventory so they're at least not on my characters.

Put it on the ground by dragging into the world space. Then melee attack it with a weapon. You don't need a "menu" to break something. Anyone standing near it when it breaks gets the healing affect, so you don't even need to break it with the main character to heal him/her with it.

If you have anyone that has gear that gives bonuses for healing, use them to melee attack it. Bonuses triggered by healing are triggered by breaking healing potions too.

I "use" all of my healing potions this way, allows you to heal multiple people with one potion, and has a larger area of affect than throwing them.

BTW, to throw it in combat, you don't need a right click menu on the item. Use the THROW action and it will give you a list of every throwable item in the character's inventory (that isn't in a sub container).

dragging it from inventory to world doesn't work/

It does not show up in the list of items to throw when you press x (or throw) in combat.

I was able to drag the items from inventory to ground as said by a previous poster (Despite me saying I wasnt able to) and being in a further act those items are no longer on my camp ground; but if you found a way to get those items back i'll mark post as answer.
