if the user is disconnected while a vending transaction is in progress: the vending panel ui element remains in the hud but becomes non-interactive.

.
to reproduce:
[in the game]

1. initiate a transaction with (possibly) any vendor (only tested against vendors in haven .. does not apply to alchemy stations)
   - the vendor panel should open [left edge of hud] -
2. do nothing until you are disconnected (due to idleness *see below)
3. log back into the game
4. choose a character (this can be any character, not just the one with which the original transaction was initiated)

.
- when you are finished loading into haven, the vendor panel will:

• still be visible
• no longer be interactive
• be at a lower depth than all other hud elements (ie. behind them)

.
* for testing: this also occurs if the connection is lost due to network problems .. a quicker way to test could involve simply pulling your ethernet cord or disabling your wireless card .. it should be noted, however, that when returning from a network failure the game may/will automatically reinitiate the vend transaction (covering the orphaned vend panel with a new active one) .. you will not be able to view the 'broken' vend panel until you exit the transaction in progress.
