Title: Auto attack disable when leaving combat.
Reproduction Rate:Each time
Blocker?No
Details:While in auto attack I killed a zombie. Went out of combat. Did not loot and was able to run with my left and right mouse keys. Went back into combat to engage another critter but had been knocked out of auto attack so could not walk with the mouse until I struck the T button again. I have Use Free Attack NOT checked.
Steps to Reproduce:Uncheck Use Free Attack, go into combat, press T button, kill then leave combat. Go back into combat to fight again and must press T again to walk with mouse and auto attack.

This time I made certain to notice that after killing creature I went out of combat. Whether I looted or not if I went back into combat mode I had to press the T button in order to walk with the mouse. Upon engaging an enemy I was then in auto attack.

 

@Attenwood

All above from @Jade2 and @Abigail is stated correctly and is completely accurate, but it is not limited to looting or going out of combat mode. Skinning any creature also takes you out of AutoAttack.

Currently - the only way to move with both mouse buttons while in combat mode, is to Enable AutoAttack.

Looting, skinning or going into non-combat mode - ALL take you out of AutoAttack, which precludes your ability to move using the mouse until AutoAttack is re-instated with the T key.

I believe that what all of us "mouse movers" ( and ALL of the people soon coming in from UO ) want - is for the ability to tell the client "Never, ever take us out of AutoAttack unless we take a checkmark OUT of a box (that we need) that says: "Always use AutoAttack - period."

The issue of not being able to mouse move in combat mode ( UNLESS in AutoAttack is currently active ) is why we are reporting this and asking for a permanent toggle that does what I stated in the sentence above.

 

This issue has been reported and should have a fix in place in the near future. Thanks for reporting.
