Slight graphical glitch on Female Midlander's Breathing

[Lusavari]

When Female Midlanders switch between active and passive modes, they will sometimes not breath, and sort of stand motionless only blinking in either position. In Active Mode, moving will fix it, and in passive mode, either changing gear or toggling in and out of active mode will fix it.

So far, I've only noticed it on my character Kyrisha Amberdale. It's a pretty subtle bug, so I've not been able to see it on other characters. In the heat of combat, it's hard to see it trigger. All other Female Midlanders in the area seemed to function just fine.

Windows 7, Home edition

ISP is Insight Broadband 10.0 Making it a 10mbs BB connection

Time was 3:44am CDT 7/29/11 (I made the post while observing the bug)

Gear was a Taupe Sheepskin Harness, Bronze Barbut (not displayed) Sheepskin Caligae, and a Sheepskin Subligar at Camp Drybone, Weathered Gladius, and a Bronze Hoplon, and a fang earring. I've only been able to duplicate this issue several times around camp drybone. I was not able to get it to work in Ul'Dah (so far).

I noticed the glitch immediately after completing a leve quest and returning to camp. At first I thought it was an issue from the teleport that would be remedied through another teleportation or active mode toggle. After going into active mode, she was still not breathing, and then I moved her at which point she resumed breathing. I then toggled her back, and she stopped breathing again. So I tried a gear swap, which fixed the issue until the next series of toggles.

After I teleported back to town, the problem seemed to disappear for the time being.
