Very annoying "stuck in cover" combat bug.

This has happened to me twice now. Over the span of like, 4 completed runs. During combat, if I happen to get shot while in cover and in combat mode, Ill get stuck on the cover and no matter what I do, such as enter scavenge, get shot more, click out of cover, anything I do is ignored and I'm just stuck waiting until whomever I'm fighting kills me, or the night runs out. Here is a screen shot of one.

I'm at the contruction site and got shot in cover, got stuck, but the military guy actually ran out of ammo and ran away, leaving me stuck there. You can see me clicking behind Roman, but he's just hugging the stupid wall forever. The other time this happened was with Bruno at the brothel.

No mods are installed. Do fix this, it is irritating beyond all measure trying to make this "cover" system work, just for it to bug out and get me killed. I might as well stealth kill the entire game then risk this nonsense happening again.

Still present for me as well. Happened on construction site as well, on the same cover as in the screen shot but on the other side.

Good spot, I recall there being other areas (at other locations) where you can become trapped also..

Whenever this happens, one possible workaround for it is to flee the location by clicking the 'run to exit' icon (if the first attempt fails, try switching between controller and mouse to get it to work)..

..If this unfreezes the survivor and gets them running towards the exit, quickly cancel their escape and your character will be back in play..

This works for me whenever I get trapped on something.
