It appears that the January 28th patch introduced a new bug with Toss Elixir S. The stability effect no longer makes characters grow and thereby removes a key visual clue.
From the patch notes: “Toss Elixir S: This skill will no longer remove transforms from players.”
From the screenshot, stability appears to be granted but the character doesn’t grow. There are no obvious transforms that would be removed. I just logged in, used Toss Elixir S (about three times) until I got stability, and took the screenshot then logged out. The stealth transforms do seem to work. In the screenshot I’m in Caledon Forest, but the first time I noticed this was on Jan. 28th after patching while in one of the WvWvW borderland maps.

Maybe the only way to fix the Transform’s loss was to remove the growth’ effect from player.
I’m still glad they fixed it, losing lich form/plague because of an elixir wasn’t fun at all.

Hmmm some of us speculated that it might be due to them trying to make the stability no longer an RNG but I guess it’s just another new engi bug, adds it to his list.

The stability still takes effect, but now without the transform it is more difficult to tell that I didn’t accidentally toss the elixir in a different location. Eyes are focused on the character, not on the boon list.
