Crossbow Will Not Fire Bolts

My crossbow has stopped firing any bolt skill, not even the basic bolt, but it still fires grenades. This happened after I equipped the fragmentation rounds skill with maim support and then replaced it with soul thief (mana leech) support. I don't know what exactly caused the issue.

I tried the following:
- Restart the game
- Change support gems
- Unequip and re-equip skill gems
- Try different bolt skills
- Unequip and re-equip the crossbow
- Try using another crossbow

None of the above has fixed the issue.

Thank you for your time and attention!

Are you using swap points? I had the same problem trying to use a mark on offhand while my offhand was empty, or while i had something other than a crossbow. I fixed it by swapping to the other weapon set (even if it was empty) and equiping my weapon at that slot (i removed it from its original slot).
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried this and unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
did u check if your skills assigned to the xbow weapon set?
I made a new mercenary and the new character was able to fire the crossbow. After that, I logged into the first character and managed to resolve the issue.

Looking at how my buttons were set up, it could just be that I set the mouse left-click to be the skill itself, which will only load the bolts without firing anything, so that could have been the issue. Not sure why or how I changed the set-up to be like that after playing for a long time already. The left-click has to be set to "crossbow shot."

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions!
Same problem. And it also helped to create a second character, thanks for the advice. I've tried everything. I should have gone straight to the forum.
