Major Issue with Stealth/Hide/Cloaking powers

This bug has been reported by others. Many of my friends have had the exact same issue you are describing as well as myself on my stalker. I refuse to play my stalker anymore until they fix this issue. That is a stalkers main attack and without it, takes away the whole reason for being a stalker.
If you haven;t already, bug it in game and join the community. 
The problem has to do with Cloaking Device and other Stealth / Invisibility powers. The issue is very easy to reproduce on current live servers since it pretty much happens all the time.
For exemple: My blaster ( Archery / Device ) is running Cloaking Device and engage battle against a Malta Sapper. I am standing in the Sapper's back at about 40 feet and i click my Stun Arrow icon. Before i even could fire my arrow, the Sapper suddenly turns against me and fire is gun that drains my endurance. So much for my stealthy pre-emptive strike. Sapper actually is the one pre-empting all my actions even if i was hidden.
The same problem happens to my stalkers while under Hide power. Enemies pre-empt and tend to land a hit even upon falling dead!
Personnaly i think that is a major issue and game bug. Can anyone confirm that it will get fixed or is it working as intended?
I find that problem to be very frsutrating. All my ranged attackers are unable to fire a disorient/hold/sleep attack as a furtive strike. Some enemies even managed to land a stun/hold on me before i even finished activating my attack.
Funny enough, if i turn Cloaking Device Off, i am free to stun an enemy at 5 feet range without having him turning his back to face me. Something is wrong, really.
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
