Healers/Tanks stuck in Combat mode

A few months back I started seeing some of my healers and tanks stick in combat mode after battle ends. This can last anywhere from 10 to 50 seconds.
It seems to depend on something in the party, not my own chars, because there are parties where it happens more and longer, other parties less, and sometimes even half-way through a dungeon it will stop happening even though I've changed nothing on mine. Sometimes it stays on solid and other times I'll get the drumbeat and be in combat, then it goes off for a second or less, then another drumbeat and it's back on. This can repeat half a dozen times or more.
I haven't checked all chars, but it seems to be affecting Fighter and Pally tanks (not Barbs), and Cleric healers (not Bards and I don't think Warlocks).
It's very annoying because can't trigger interactions, open chests, mount up, etc.
This issue has popped up for various classes and reasons over the years. I haven't seen a current mention of the issue in chat, forums or google search.
Anybody have an idea what is currently causing it?

So Cleric Mark and I guess Warlock Lifemark then, and maybe something for bards as well? Is it the HoT song for bards or something else?
Looks like I'll have to start asking healers not to mark me.
@nitocris83 is this something being looked at?
Skirmishes: I have never actually marked anyone or used Tab Key Healing in that content.
RADQ, I have found that switching it off or applying the mark to myself to get through the door or open something helps.
I actually have no idea how to switch it off but in some instances the mark just disappears all together when I am trying to remove it from a marked player.
I don't notice this terribly often on my paladin, but I may see if my friend wants to take some time and test a few scenarios out to see if we can recreate it and figure out what triggers it. It happens, nowadays, more often when I tank than when I heal, but I've also not been using the mark nearly as much of late.
Contribution to this thread - a lot of tanks appreciate it, from what I've seen, if you try to untab them when interactions come up. I can't always remember to do it, so I wouldn't feel bad if you forget, but it is something that might help any healers who read this
