Just to let everyone know that as of today there is a new strange bug or feature active which I didn't see mentioned here.
I melted my 42 gold ore in four stacks in the furance at Trasok's (10,10,11,11), as they melted I moved them to my inventory, now this time they did not autostack and I could not stack them as I was bringing them in.
Next I moved to the stock casting and cast three of the molten gold into gold ingots, they also did not stack as I was bringing them in (I'm told they would have stacked manually after they reached my inventory--this would be an improvement in the old-new autostacking system introduced in 019).
So far so good -- NOW while I was in the middle of dealing with those three gold ingots, I started getting messages of about creating piles of dust in quanties of 10, 10, 11, and 11. Strange, yes, since I had removed my gold from the furnace successfully more then 10-20 seconds earlier and no lags in server response were apparent. Checking my inventory all my remaining 39 molten gold were gone but I still had my 3 gold ingots. I could find piles of dust nowhere, not in my inventory, the furnace, or stock casting; however, when selling those 3 gold ingots to Trasok I had the piles of dust in the list of things to sell; however, I couldn't sell them because it claimed I had to take them out of a container, which they were not in as I had checked both my nearly full glyph sack and a regular sack I had purchased for a quest. After logging out and back in, the piles of dust were gone from the list when selling to Trasok and of course my molten gold did not magically reappear.
Fortunately, nothing else interesting disappeared yet -- though sometimes when I log in I have nothing in my inventory until I log out and back in.
