    Title: playing music brings up combat bar
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? no
    Details: Playing music from sheet in non-combat bar brings up combat bar, does not place you in combat. However any other keypress comes from the combat bar and puts you in combat. Bar will disappear back on its own if nothing else pressed after a second.
    Steps to Reproduce: play music sheet from non-combat bar

    I posted the same bug under music. Didn't check anywhere other than music to see if it was bugged! =P

    @Fruck @Applerust This should only be happening for artifact instruments. You are technically casting a combat skill by playing the instrument. Is this happening for non artifact instruments?

    I didnt test with non-artifact. So is this an intended change? I tested that playing it still ends combat....

    Tested it. Normal instruments do not seem to do the same thing as artifact instruments. Did not test all instruments.

    Wait, playing an instrument used to take you out of combat... now it forces you into combat?

    For instruments like the Fleet Flute, this kind of defeats the purpose of playing the instrument because the speed buff it provides gets negated by the in-combat speed nerf. :(

    This is bad news really. This slows us down by 1-2 seconds.

    The purpose of this change was to keep you in combat. So, I am going to alter it to only keep you in combat if you already were in combat.

    On Linux, there's a very old bug where anytime a window is opened or closed and your using mouselook, the cursor reappears and makes it very hard to control. This also happens when the combat bar appears and disappears.

    @oneandonly FYI - this also applies to artifact instruments on the overworld map

    *update* - FYI - this seems fixed in build 745.

    That part is fixed... it still makes you exit combat playing the instrument though
