Something....similar happened to me once, although it didn't involve a "forced-motion" thing like the Garrick dialogue. Quite a long time ago, my party and I were up at Wyrm's Crossing, talking to the Umberlee witch Tenya. We didn't like her attitude, so we proceed to lay into her. She cast Entangle, and my PC (who I think was a Paladin or something) failed her Save, but that hardly mattered since she was in melee range anyway. A couple of hits later, Tenya was dead, and I told my Entangled PC to walk over and pick up Tenya's loot. My PC was due east of Tenya's corpse, and so started to walk in place, heading west. Walk, walk, walk. Walk, walk, walk, not going anywhere. When the Entangle wore off, however, my PC magically jumped across the river!!! She vanished from the screen, and I had no idea where she went--I had to double-click on her portrait to find her. And BAM, there she was, on the other side of the River Chironthair, exactly due west of where she was Entangled. And to make matters weirder, this took place in Chapter 3, meaning that I actually got across the river before the Bridge was open! If I'd wanted to, I could have booted all the other members from the party, entered BG City, and thus had access to everything in town as early as Chapter 3 (or Chapter 1, even, if the bug is repeatable).....but not knowing what that might do to the plot, I decided to Reload.
