POE2 Merc firing jam bug.

I have found and have been able to isolate/recreate a bug on the merc in poe2. This interacting causes the basicattack/crossbow shot ability to brick and need to be repressed or take several seconds to start refiring. The longest duration I was able to take not of was a whopping 9 seconds.

The bug happens when the following conditions are met:
Bolt Magazine has been emptied and an auto reload has been triggered.
Roll/Dodge or other movement ability that disrupts the reload animation including the cool off period of about .5 seconds after.
The magazine will reload and be full however the reload sequence attempts to restart due to being clipped by the roll/etc.
This causes the basic attack not to fire, need to be pressed again, or take a very long time to ramp and start firing. Particularly it dramatically effects rapid shot, galvanic shards, and glacial bolt.

Proposed fix: Make reload uninterruptable regardless of cancelling the animation, or make reload permissible through movement abilities. The latter might be more painless to program.

This bug needs to be fixed hastefully as it is game breaking and ruins the playability of crossbow merc.
