Unable to move after battle - can't open chests

This has happened to both my high-level witchdoctor and my privateer when I have been helping other pirates in the Bandit Cave during the quest Boar to the Core. After the sorcerer battles, when there is a group plunder chest, my high level pirate cannot move or teleport until the group plunder chest timer expires. Once it is gone, my character can move again. Just now, it was the Wind Sorcerer for my privateer, the first time it was the Fire Sorcerer for my witchdoctor.

It hasn't happened if there is no group plunder chest, or maybe I have only noticed it particularly because I feel bad that the group plunder couldn't be collected.

Has anyone else had this happen?

It happened a third time, after I made my first post, when there was a group plunder chest for the final battle with the Inoshishi Chief. My privateer couldn't move until the group plunder chest was gone and the other pirate had completed the dialogue and left the cave.

This has happened to me, but only when companions are commenting and for a few seconds after their dialogue.

I know what you mean about the companion popup dialogue making it so that the character cannot move -- this is different. Only one of the pirates, my higher level, is stuck. The other player can run around and open all of the other chests, but I cannot help them open the group plunder.

Maybe one of the others rushed to a dialog that caused you to freeze in place, basically someone skipped the loot collection phase and moved to the next thing? Could also be a random glitch, if it only happens with some of the group chests, and also in fights with no group chests.

No, it seems particularly to affect this dungeon, Bandit Cave, unless someone else has seen it happen elsewhere. I've done the cave a few times in the past week or so, which is why it became particularly evident.

There is no popup dialogue in the questline, only standard dialogue boxes. The other pirate was collecting loot chests and I could not move. No dialogue was visible on screen, so I should not have been frozen in place.

This happens to me often, as well. I can't tell what conditions make it occur either. However, if I recall correctly, at least one of the four players is still able to move around (the glitch doesn't seem to immobilize everyone). Aggravating, because you need everyone to open the four person chest.

No one was chatting during the battles I described.
