Sorry, forgot to include version info.

Type: Public Alpha
Branch: Stable
Version: 0.5.102571

If you're using the default keybindings, then your prone and crouch keys are actually toggles. When you're in the tactical sit stance, you're actually in the high prone position. Hitting prone at this point will toggle you from proning (even though you were sitting) to standing up. So, technically this isn't a bug and everything is working as designed. Of course, I'd contend that this is horrible design, and was one of the primary reasons why I immediately switched back to using the ARMA2 style z/x/c keys for prone, crouch and stand respectively. Also, the keybinding names in the Controls Menu are also confusingly mislabeled and should be renamed ASAP.

Appears to be fixed.
