Unexpected contortions - folded in half!

While logged in last night with the new release, my Avatar intermittently kept folding in half at the waist, so it looked almost like my avatar had been cut in half at the belt line. But looking lower, my head and shoulders were down by my shins.

If I tried to zoom the camera in on myself to get a picture of the bug, it self-corrected. But it would happen again moments later. Must have happened 10 to 15 times before I gave up and tried logging off and on again.

Logging off and back on seems to have resolved it, but this has happened in more than one session.

I was not using any sort of animation overrider, slave collar or any other item that would animate me. I was just standing there.

I don't know if anyone else saw what I did. When it happened, it always switched back before I could ask anyone.

Striker, while it's true that this has been around for a while, before this it usually only happened once in a given login session to an avatar. I've had it happen to me before, usually triggered when I put something on.

Last night, it happened to poor Feral almost every time they looked at themselves! And Feral wasn't changing clothes or doing anything else. Feral was working on my photo shoot when it happened. Unfortunately, I was always looking another direction each time they said it was happeneing. By the time I turned to look at them, it had already corrected.
