type /info as a workaround in the meanwhile.

Agreed, needs a fix by now. It is related to entities that are potentially interactive. The user interface doesn't know how to deal with entities that can change states like were introduced in GR.

That doesn't make any sense. Follow is always there, without fail. Why can't Info be? They're just entries on a Popmenu that execute a slash command.

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

The UI makes decisions about available commands based on your target and probably on an individual basis. Something glitches when it comes to deciding "Show info command?" and it's generally when the entity targeted is something that can qualify as an interactable object/person as well as a normal map npc.|

It makes perfect sense that it could happen, despite your assertion otherwise. Because that's what happens.

I use a bind for that, it works great: /bind ctrl+i info

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I'm pretty sure that what an NPC shows on right-click is set individually for each NPC. I say this because old NPCs don't have this problem, they still display the Info option. Newer NPCs, even when they show up in old content, tend to not have that.
And, yes, it's annoying and it's one of those things that I really want to see fixed but never expect to actually see. It's like Maria Jenkins' typo-ridden bio, or anything Praetor Sinclair ever says.
