Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When a flashlight is turned off but you are still holding it in your hands, it emits a tiny pinprick of light about the size of the dot crosshair.

The only way to stop it, is to stow the flashlight. {F28635} {F28636}

I'm the one in the screenshot, and I noticed this effect from the OP's flashlight before - it's quite noticeable as long as the player holds the flashlight in their hands after turning it on. This bug does not seem to affect the headlamps in the game, and we've not been able to test weapon flashlights yet.
