Character not exiting combat
This happens to me as well, but most often when I’m on my mesmer or thief and use stealth to escape from combat. The mob will leash and reset but my character will remain locked in combat forever unless I engage and kill another mob (starting with whatever health I had left) or log out to the character select screen and then re-enter. It will also do this occasionally if I happen to be in stealth when the mob I’m fighting dies (either via condition damage or someone else killing it).
It happens to me on my thief. I fix it by logging out and back in, but it’s a pain to have to do it so often.

i’ve noticed it here and there as well. not terribly common for me but i have also just logged out and back in to fix it. no negative spells or effects on my character at the time either
Usually happens to me if there’s enemies above or below me on different platform and I kill every enemy near me. Some vistas in dredge caves were pain to get because once I dispatched them and usually some veteran mob, too, my combat mode just wouldn’t go off.
Had this issue again yesterday that made me rage. Had a vista with a champion mob under it. I got passed the champ, and jumped up to the vista, but since I stealthed out of combat I couldn’t view the vista. I sheathed and sat and waited for about 5 minutes, but I still could not view it. I ended up logging off. When I logged back on, I was on the ground with no health in front of the champion. There was no way for me to gather life, so I had to let myself die and attempt to run back.
This is a huge issue that needs to be fixed.
This commonly happens on my mesmer, whether or not I have used stealth. It is very annoying.
Been having this issue as well. I notice it more when I run past foes who put me in “combat” status without fighting them, and then try to do something that requires you to be out of combat (after they stopped persueing me) like view a vista or map travel. As a result I usually have to go kill something before I am set “out of combat”.
Even when the charactor animation puts their weapons away, the game thinks I’m still in combat and as atated i have to go kill something to fix it. Maybe make it so if the charactor puts weapons away then the “combat” flag is unset or something …
