Calico stuck in leaping animation when slash is interrupted

While casting Calico's ability Leaping Slash, if Calico is hit by forms of stun/silence/disable, her hero model can get stuck in the leaping animation. The main effects of being stuck in this animation are: can't shoot gun, can't use any movement features like jump/dash/slide/mantle, and has reduced movement speed.

This state isn't permanent as Calico can (eventually) escape the animation by casting other abilities or using a zipline. But since this bug triggers from enemy interrupt (i.e. during a fight) when abilities are often already on cooldown and ziplines can't be used due to taking enemy damage, it almost always results in a guaranteed death.

I'm not sure all the abilities that can trigger the interrupt, but Haze Sleep Dagger is for sure one and there are definitely more, personally I experience this bug nearly every match as Calico.

Some random and probably useless thoughts, maybe there's a way to automatically "timeout" from the leaping state/animation, to prevent it from persisting longer then reasonably possible? Or add a condition where if certain negative states are applied to Calico during the Leaping Slash to "reset" the hero model to its default "standing" state/animation? Or have abilities like Sleep Dagger trigger the "reset" at the end of their duration? In case this bug gets any attention thank you Devs! meow!

Yeah seems this bug is still unresolved. I think the best way to escape the glitched state is with a Light Melee, for any Calico players that might be reading.

Wait... I never tried that, that's a game changer if it does reliably fix it.

The other fixes are zipline and sliding though they don't always fix the bug, guaranteed method to fix it is to use the ability again.
