Active reload and actions that pause it

[pirateresearchproject]

If you active reload during a pause caused by an action (dash / melee) it will fail even if the pin in within the green zone.

Active Reload re-press window shows incorrectly when you are doing something else that doesn't stop the reload such as casting abilities, I pressed the reload button again in this window countless times but it would fail every time.

I can't replicate this and I believe I know why.
You're reloading too quickly after executing the dash command. Try for yourself in sandbox, no items: dash and immediately press reload. You will see a delay in the reload animation even beginning.
