Last time I checked, if someone tries to /listen or /watch an entertainer while sitting or performing an animation, it doesn't work. Perhaps this is because listening results in your character performing an animation sequence (clapping).

Clapping for an entertainer makes your head turn all the way to the side instead of looking at the performer. It really bugs me that people look like they've broken their necks listening to my music. It's not that bad, I've practiced!!

I'm still at the office, so I don't have all my game notes in front of me, but a bunch come to mind off the top of my head. I've reported all but the last one to the devs. In most cases, I've reported them repeatedly.

1. The buff timer doesn't always reset if the listener dies or crashes, which means the listener can't be rebuffed for two hours.

2. Player-city theaters don't work unless you perform backstage.

3. Command-line emotes don't work if the target or emoter or both have recently been on a mount or vehicle. This particularly affects skilled Musicians because we must keep the nalargon and ommni box targeted at all times, meaning we can't emote with everyone.

4. The text string with /setp is still bugged. It's partly fixed on TC, I think.

5. Many flourishes sound as if they have a little gap at the end, or as if the beat is delayed; I'm not sure which. Other people seem more attuned to this bug than me, but I keep getting reports about it.

6. /register doesn't work properly.

7. Sometimes the buff isn't triggered when the listener ups and walks away. In theory, the listener's departure should trigger the /stoplisten event, but it doesn't always.

8. If the listener is meditating when she chooses /stoplisten, she may not get the buff.

9. We can't self-buff. [Sneaked a feature into my list, heh heh.]

10. Some Musicians report that stopping in mid-buff prevents the buff from being applied, even if the Musician restarts. I can't reproduce this.

11. Other players can move a Musician's instruments around. This may not be a "bug" per se.

12. I can't /pickup my own nala or ommni in a public cantina or in a private cantina in which I don't have admin. I have to move instead. Maybe this isn't a bug per se either. /shrug

13. A few weeks back, a few of us lost flourish animations. They seem to be working properly now, though. Anyone still seeing this?

14. Sometimes the music seems to stop and restart, even though I haven't stopped. It may be my imagination, but this seems to have improvedof late.

15. I've had isolated reports of our buff stacking on itself, a problem that was supposedly fixed many moons ago. I can't duplicate.

16. I've had isolated reports that people can't receive the buff after they've migrated their stats, even after the stats finish migrating, but again I can't duplicate.

17. One Musician recently poofed. This one is not really Musician-specific, but it's scary anyway.

18. A few Musicians were "stuck" and unable to perform at all around the New Year, but I reported this and the devs quickly slapped in a hotfix. As far as I know, the bug is now fixed. Anyone unable to perform at all?
