    1. Title: Going into AFK unexpectedly and unable to get out of it
    2. Reproducible? Going to be hard I think
    3. Blocker? Yes, because my summoned pets get dismissed
    4. Details: Since R112. First time this happened was yesterday; I got the "disconnected" icon for a couple of minutes but still could play (I guess the server was busy). After a while I noticed the AFK-tag at my player name; later I noticed my summoned elemental was gone. I still was playing normally though. It took about 10 minutes of normal playing until the AFK-tag was gone. About 30 minutes later, in the same session, I was away from keyboard to get some coffee. Couldn't have been away for more than 2 minutes, but found myself in AFK-mode again and summon gone. Second time was yesterday also, different character, I had been playing normally with a summoned tame, needed a sanitary break, and found myself in AFK-mode when returning with summoned pet gone. Again, couldn't have been away for more than a few minutes. Third and fourth time was today: I was playing normally when suddenly I noticed my summoned ellie was gone and then saw the AFK-tag. No idea what triggered that. It took some minutes to get out of AFK-mode: moving didn't help; typing /afk and then moving neither, gathering a node didn't help; killing a mob finally did. In the same session 15 minutes later or so I needed more coffee - and found myself in AFK-mode again when I came back with summon gone.
    5. Steps to Reproduce: no idea, sorry
    A bit of today's chat log: Playing normally and then the AFK kicks in:

    Just adding information that might help locate/test the bug.
    Today I was able to avoid the AFK-bug by disarming (key Z) when I went to fetch coffee.

    Another player told me that this bug might be related to mouse movement. Indeed, I use the mouse very little when I'm playing, especially when I'm gathering. Today I moved that mouse now and then and didn't go AFK while playing.
