Unit gets frozen after using First Aid Kit/Medikit while handgun is equipped
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you have a handgun equipped when attempting to use a First Aid Kit or Medikit, your unit will get stuck at the very end of the healing animation (or the beginning of the pistol-equipping animation, I can't tell which,) and will be unable to move. Pic attached shows the frame the unit gets stuck in.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open the editor, doesn't matter which island
  1. Place down a Rifleman (doesn't matter which faction), set as Player and click Preview
  1. Switch to your handgun
  1. Injure yourself (use a grenade for convenience)
  1. Use a First Aid Kit to heal yourself
  1. At this point, the only way I've found to break out of the animation is by using the Action Menu to switch weapons. Throwing a grenade and reloading actually complete their respective actions but afterwards the unit returns to its frozen state. To my knowledge there is no other way to get out of this state unless you have another weapon already equipped in one of your weapon slots.
Additional Information

I'm not sure how long this bug has been around, as I found an issue on feedback tracker similar to this from 5-6 months ago but it was never resolved. http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=9243

I've also made sure to disable all my addons and verify my game cache.

The bug does not seem to occur when your unit is holding his primary weapon or rocket launcher - only when the handgun is equipped.

There also seems to be a bug that I can't seem to consistently reproduce after breaking out of the frozen animation in which you will be able to infinitely heal yourself over and over without consuming any First Aid Kits as long as you have one in your inventory.

UPDATE: As of the latest update, it still occurs in the latest dev build (1.09.113491); however, it does not occur in the main branch.

UPDATE 2: As of the latest dev branch updates, this problem is now fixed! Thanks!
