Light melee to secure soul orbs has inconsistent behavior

[Azula]

Soul orbs dropped from troopers behave inconsistently to light melees. Sometimes you will have the hit sound but the orb won't break, while other times it will be secured.

Soul orbs are claimable only after a very short delay (maybe about 0.1s) after it spawns/forms. This bug happens when you hit a soul orb after it spawned but before it is claimable. You can even reproduce the bug with guns. It is just much more noticeable with melee hits because of the sfx and vfx.

You sure this is the case? I've never seen this issue with guns, and I've shot thousands of orbs in the sandbox..

Either way, if its not a bug, it should be changed anyway

I can confirm this still happens in the latest version. Here's a very exaggerated example:

Seems like the hit sound no longer plays, but the bug is still present since I'm not gaining any souls.
