    Title: Pressing F4 does not target Party Member #4
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Not really; sucks for healers :D
    Details: When I was in a party with 12 people, pressing F4 did not target the fourth party member, but instead briefly highlighted the fifth party member, then targeted none at all. I asked other party members to test it, they confirmed that it was behaving the same way for them, too. I checked that F4 was correctly bound to "Target Party Member 4".
    Steps to Reproduce: Get in a party with at least 5 people (I was in a full party of 12). Press F4, trying to target the fourth member of the party, observe that Party Member #4 is not targeted

    cannot confirm, @tomcat_de. i made a party with four members and at first i could not select the fourth, but that was because they were across the zone. once all party members were in range, i could use the function keys to target all of them.

    Thank you for looking into it @Alley Oop. I ran a couple of parties again and was able to observe this issue again and was also able to capture it on video:



    The important thing happens at the very beginning. The fourth party member (in this case Ecomi) is selectable by pressing F4 at the start (I press F1, ..., F5 in order to check). Then another player joins (Taisuke Gt); Ecomi is now shown in 5th place. However, pressing F4 still selects Ecomi, instead of - now - Taisuke Gt.
    Later on, Taisuke Gt "jumps" to the end of the list and everything is working as expected again. So I think it is a display issue where the order of players is (temporarily) not shown correctly).

    If I can do anything else to make the issue more clear, please let me know!

    Thanks :)

    In the video i see those people arent yet in the scene, you cannot target a player that isnt in the scene and have grey nameplate, that is why it tries to target the next player in the list.
    You can see once they joined the scene and nameplate become targetable, the bind key will target them since they are now available.

    Here's another short example of this phenomenon:


    I'm presing F1 through F8 twice. Notice how Zerg Queen is skipped when I press F4 and Oyster is selected instead, even though she is right in front of me.
