Description

Despite BI closing this an unable to reproduce, I have confirmed this in VANILLA, across 5 different PCs, all with different hardware.

Steps to reproduce light projected off center

Tap L to equip flashlight in hand
Hold L to turn on light (while still holding in hand)

It really is that simple and can reproduce this in VANILLA 100% of the time.

Steps to make light project correctly

With light on body (NOT in hand) Hold L to turn light on
With light still on, TAP L to put in hand

Note that light initially projects off to the left but then floats over to center.

Is there some additional factor? Maybe specific scenarios (I see legacy Conflict listed as the mission on this ticket, but I used Game Master on Everon), or TrackIR (I am not using it)?

I'm not able to reproduce this. I did click when putting the flashlight away, instead of tapping L, but the bug occurs before that in your recording.

I will have to check to see if all of the PCs I have confirmed this on are using TrackIR. It is possible and likely they do; however
I just tested it on Vanilla Arland, with Track IR off, including the TrackIR software shutdown and camera unplugged. I can still reproduce the issue.
