Anyone else get this glitch when changing secondary professions?

For example, in this pic I just switched from a Warrior secondary to a Necro secondary. The (new) Necro skills are listed in 'Other Skills' and for some reason there is a stray Warrior skill leftover in the 'Secondary' tab. This happens with other secondary changes as well. I'm just using Warrior -> Necro as an example. If you map to another zone or just remap to your current one, the skills fix themselves (ie. you get the standard Primary, Secondary skill setup for your chosen professions), but this skill list screw up seems to happen EVERY time after I immediately switch secondaries.

Am I crazy or does this happen to anyone else? ANet, do you know about this? It's one of those little things that bugs the heck out of me.

here too, its only a visual bug in the listing.
You cant have them in your bar.
And there are some funny visual bugs in the skill bar with this, too, like seeing one skill 3 times in your bar in a city.

Happens whenever you switch a class. It'll fix itself once you step outside and back. I think it may be intended.

However, I have found that it doesn't happen with every class switch.

The only skill bar related glitch i've ever seen was sometimes when I used to solo UW with my monk build before I realized that its quite abusive to do so. Occasionally the bonnetti's defense icon would stop showing the build of adrenaline, it would just stay dark. First time it happened I died because I thought I wasnt making adrenaline for some reason and was trying to figure out why while the squids inturrupted 4 breezes and did me in because I didnt use bonetti's to force the heal thru. Next run it was fine, and didnt happen for some time later, when I actually had the thought to try the skill anyway and it worked fine. Minor annoyance if you know about how long it takes to charge under given number of attacks youre taking 6cows as opposed to 9 smites or whatever.. Just odd.

That happened to my friend when he unlocked a new skill as a quest reward once.

For a few short moments, Signet of Weariness was the greastest skill ever

This is definitely a bug, and has nothing to do with Soothing Images or Sympathetic Visage or anything. The problem is the adrenaline levels for your adrenal skills simply don't show at a certain point, which forces you to guess/try which ones are charged and which ones are not. It's very annoying, and the only fix I've found so far is to change maps. Fortunately it seems only very incidental - it has happened twice to my warrior in his entire career.

I too get the same thing as the OP. I assume it's normal.

I sometimes get something more bizarre. When switching skills around, sometimes i get a duplicate of the same skill.
Yesterday, i had two distracting shots showing in my bar...i wish!!

When this happens and you think "heh, great, let's PvP!" it disappears when you zone

It's rare though, only happened four times to me in all the many hours logged.

In the beta for everyone events you used to be able to buy skill charms(or rings.. or amulets? been a while) and be able to use skills not normally found around the world with them. They only lasted like 3 days but you could keep buying them.
