[POE 2] Mercenary skill bar change leads to being unable to move

I would like to report a bug in Path of Exile 2 that affects my Mercenary build using Frost- and Shrapnel Arrows. (Left and right mouse button)

Whenever I unequip a piece of gear and temporarily lose the required attributes for my skill used gems, the game automatically resets my skill bar. It does not switch to a default attack. Instead, both mouse buttons are set to “Reload” only.

I am using a crossbow, and when this happens, I can only reload but I cannot move or attack. I can roll and sprint but this is no help in a combat.
My entire otherwise automatic control setup becomes unusable. This happens instantly as soon as the attribute requirements are not met for a moment or if the gem levels up.

This is extremely frustrating, because after every gear change or every gem level-up, I have to check the skill bar in the bottom right corner to make sure it hasn’t been broken again. If I forget to check, I suddenly find myself unable to move or attack in the middle of combat.

My suggestion: The skill bar should keep the assigned skills even when attribute requirements are temporarily not met. The skills could simply be shown as disabled instead of being replaced by “Reload”.
