When withdrawing from the guild bank to your inventory, there are times where the withdrawn item will “disappear” when you drag it into your inventory. You can drag another item from the guild bank into your inventory in another slot to make the item that disappeared reappear again. Its quite annoying and has been around for a few months now (3-4 months I think). It’d be nice to not have to withdraw more then necessary to get one or more items out of the guild bank when they start disappearing randomly, forcing you to withdraw another item to make it show up in your inventory.

I’ve had that happen before. I log out and back in and usually the item reappears.

It’s an issue with synchronization between two different servers, the one that keeps track of your account and the the one that keeps track of your guild back. If there’s enough latency, the item will sometimes be hidden, even though it occupies a slot in your inventory. As you noticed, moving another item forces a resync, which makes the first item re-appear.

The root cause has got to be incredibly difficult to identify or to fix (or maybe just resource-intensive). I prefer to live with the bug rather than have ANet staff worry about trying to resolve this (assuming I’m correct about the cost/difficulty).
