Big issue with picking stuff from barrel

@rwd-v3tz Ooookay, calm down there. I assume you're having problems with the cannonball barrels on your ship, correct? There's currently a bug in the game (and this is my own take on it) that's causing the Area of Effect (AOE) for the barrels to act funny. When accessing a barrel, the menu will close if you are moved out of the AOE from cannon fodder or a sword slash. I presume the issue with the barrels is caused by the AOE of the barrels to remain stationary WHILE your ship CONTINUES to move forward. Thus, you are pulled out of the barrel's AOE, and the menu closes.
I experimented with this further, and found that the menu closes sooner on a faster moving ship, and takes longer on a slower ship. In conclusion, the only way to override this bug is to halt the movement of your ship. I'm sure Rare will drop a fix for this soon, so please have patience.

@blackeyethe2nd pfft these bugs have been in the game for three weeks now. I wonder if rare even knows how to fix them at this point.
