Game Mechanics: Buggy Forge / Inventory Behavior

[kaev]

Twice now, once last night and again today, I've had some weirdness with the Forge in West Freeport.

While making Metal Rings (a four item combine that returns 3 items on cursor), I have had a combine fail with the 'can't combine these items in this container' error. Once the error occurs I get it with every combine I attempt in that Forge until I relog. On relogging I find that the some of the items in my inventory have been rearranged (i.e. they are in different slots in my bags than I had them in when I logged out), items rearranged include those used for the Metal Rings combine.

I can't help but suspect that my client and the server are disagreeing as to which item is which when the three are returned on the cursor, thus other combines fail because two of the items involved are reuseable for various combines (smithy hammer and file), and so the server has me putting the wrong items in the Forge despite what is shown by my client. Then the client gets resync'd when I relog.
