5.23: Avoiding the Shadow Jump Bug

After you Shadow Jump, if you get auto revealed or step on a trap or get revealed for any other reason than you talking or you attempting to steal, there's a good chance you're bugged. If you try to Hide, you'll get the message:

"You are too busy to do that right now."

It'll take up your skill timer and you'll be screwed if there are people looking to give you a dirt nap. To get around this, you can do a couple things:

Cast another spell. I use Animal Form since I still remain hidden.
Open and close a picture gump like your paper doll or backpack.
Any one of these actions will get around the bug. Whenever I mess up, reveal, and get the message, my next move is usually casting the invisibility spell.
