Game Mechanics: Run Changed to Walk after feared

[Xanthias]

Noticed something after last couple of dragon kills.
After getting feared I've noticed my run is automatically changed to walk.

I don't remember this taking place before the last week or so.

Is this working as intended?

Shouldn't be the case and a great catch

I have never noticed this. When feared players do drop to walk speed, but I've never had fear toggle walk/run. The only thing I'm aware of that causes you to involuntarily switch to/from walk/run is auto-follow (which is by far AF's most annoying feature).
