Character: Gloomy Ion (lvl 49 Warshade)

So tonight I was solo'ing my Warshade and got a mission from Harvey Mayler (sp?). It was a "Defeat Ring Mistress & allies" mission (forgot exact name of it; but pretty generic). I zoned into the map and it was an abandoned office map (as noted above). The first floor was one of the ones with the 3 floors and where you can jump/fly/teleport to the top of it and go through the doors and get to the elevators to the next level. So I click my teleport power (Shadow Step) and moved my mouse cursor vertically north towards the top but I notice that when I get about halfway past the screen the cursor/teleport to icon zooms back to right behind of me where I'm standing (the cursor doesn't but the teleport icon status graphic does). It seem to happen at location: -27.6 0.0 254.1 as well as 28.2 0.0 274.0 (and other places but there are 2 coords there ).

However, if I keep moving the cursor up the teleport to graphic snaps back to the mouse cursor and again if/when I reached the top or near the top of the ceiling/roof/level the teleport to graphic would snap back to behind me.

I then went up to the top level/stairs and walked to the hallway before the elevators and then clicked on my teleport button and left the teleport to graphic up and then went back down to where I was having the issues and I didn't have the issue. But then I clicked the teleport power again and tried it and again had the issue.

I /bug'ed it in the game but ran out of typing room so I put at the end of the /bug report "More on the forums."

I don't know if it's me or just lag/latency tonight but...*shrugs*

I also noticed that you can't select/copy and paste text from or to the description dialog bug box

I have a stone tanker with teleport and I notice this a lot as well. I don't think it's a bug so much as something being behind you to interfere with your targeting. Either another player, a railing or... yeah, even the floor interferes with it too when you look up to teleport to a higher platform or something. The ceiling too when you look down.
