Yep if you use F11 as Ctr4000 has stated it works.

its not a consistent problem but yesterday and early this morning I couldn't for the life of me craft a splint. yet little more than an hour ago I did craft one? maybe its a server thing as it doesn't happen when I play on the usual private server I play on but on public servers.

I have tried with 100% bandage non damaged rags, the animation plays out and than nothing. I can run off for a great distance and the action is still going in which case I cancel it.
