[Bug Report] Crossbow unusable and UI unclickable when equipped — Huntress lvl 96

Issue summary:
When I equip a crossbow, I am unable to use any crossbow skills and cannot click on in-game UI elements like vendor, stash, waypoint, portals, etc. Once I unequip the crossbow, clicking works again — but I obviously need to use my weapon...

How it happened:
The issue appeared suddenly while I was playing in a party with a friend. Initially, I noticed I couldn’t pick up any items. I thought it was due to party loot settings, but then I couldn’t interact with anything — rituals, portals, quest markers.
Despite that, I was still able to use my crossbow skills. However, after re-equipping the crossbow once, now I can’t use skills either.

Additional details:

Skills are enabled and requirements are met (stats are sufficient).

No UI or hotkey issues.

The bug seems to be tied directly to having the crossbow equipped.

What changed before the bug appeared:

I reworked my build.

Started using a new crossbow.

Added dual weapon sets (wand + shield for set II).

Allocated passive skills for Weapon Set I and II (I wasn’t using those before).

Also reassigned other passive points.

My character is a level 96 Huntress (Dawn of the Hunt Softcore).

My friend plays a Deadeye, and when he uses Weapon Set passives, they consume regular passive points.

In my case, Weapon Set I and II passives seem to use separate points (I now have an additional 48 points: 24 for Set I, 24 for Set II), and no regular passive points are deducted.

P.S.
I tested my old crossbow as well — same issue. I also completely unassigned and reassigned passives, but the bug still persists.
I found a similar report here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3617083/page/4 — other players are experiencing nearly identical problems.

Conclusion:
This seems like a bug related either to the passive system, the dual weapon set mechanic, or a UI/input lock that triggers with specific setups. Any help or acknowledgment would be appreciated — currently unplayable with my main weapon.
