Sit on Environment/Movement Glitch

Me and my friend strolled across Thanalan to 'The Coffer and Coffin', kicking off our boots we took up seat on the boxes around the side; for a well deserved rest.

It was at this moment I realised my friend was standing still, just staring toward the wall. Questioning him, he told me that I was doing the same, and that he was sitting down on his screen; I explained the same. Well; I informed him I was clearly sitting on the box. Standing and moving away from the boxes; toward the front of 'The Coffer and Coffin' my friend informed me that I had not moved, and that I was indeed still standing next to the boxes, facing the wall. Confused by this event, we both returned to Ul'dah.

It seems that when using the Environmental Sit animations, it seems to glitch where it appears neither of our characters sit, and neither of our characters move from that point onward. We were unable to test whether moving far enough away would resolve this issue as we used the 'Return' function.

Hope this helps!

Steps:
Since I control two characters, I was able to see this firsthand on each screen. I sat both characters on the stool. On one screen I was sitting yet my other character was standing next to the stool. The same for the other screen. I kept sitting and unsitting, occasionally it would work where both characters were sitting on screen but usually one would be glitched. After getting up, sometimes one character would stay glitched next to the stool, unmoving, despite me being able to move the character far away. Changing gear, which causes the character to blink, fixed the issue.

I also performed 2 tests with the help of a friend. I sat both characters down on the stools and then stood up. On Character A's screen, Character B's would remain glitched next to the stool. Character B would be able to freely move around and run away yet on Character A's screen, Character B would still remain. My friend was able to confirm with me that Character B was glitched on his screen as well. I then ran both characters to the north to the open clearing south of Tam Tara Deepcroft. I was unable to see Character B on Character A's screen despite Character B standing right next to Character A. I cast cures, protect, stoneskin, and shell on Character A with Character B yet Character B still remained invisible on Character A's screen. For the next test, I used my friend watching the glitched Character B at Buscarron's Fold. I then changed gear with Character B and looked at Character A's screen. What happened next made me laugh because apparently, Character B began running from Buscarron's Fold all the way to my location to the north. The entire time however, Character B was standing next to Character A. This glitch seems to be random since it would occur with either character, elezen or lalafell.
