Party loot voting - possible major problem

Epic Pirate King dungeon; Dungeon Delves.
Earlier, several my guild members and I went to epic PK dungeon. Once there we had few problems one of which is:
Once first boss was dead, someone picked the loot, there was 1 sec time to vote and then *poof*. I could not vote on epic drop (voting menu disappeared). It was as I refused to vote. After timer went off, I "passed" (I was forced to pass, you could say). Some of my guild mates could not believe it.
Then at second boss - same issue. Once someone picked loot, in an instant - nobody had an option to vote. Guess what happened next
After some time, we were informed that everyone passed. On epic drop. LOL. (at that time someone picked it again and we sorted thing out, since we're all from same guild, but imagine this to happen in pug party, on 800K item drop). Last boss drop voting was normal. On second run, that happened again on second boss only. I'm not sure if anyone had this problem, but this can mean disaster in PUG runs.
On the other note, chests (normal chests in dungeon, not the last chest) refused to open for some of us. I click to open it, and then chest closes itself. I open it again, it closes again. This never happened before. On second run, some chests had same behavior (not the same chests, which led me to believe this was random occurring problem).
Anyone had similar issues?

I've experienced it too actually. Some players dont get to roll on the items, and they auto pass. We had to do rerolls on the next item that dropped a few times.
WHERES THE LOOT!
If I remember correctly, it seems to happen like this or close to this:
several loot items drop and are picked up (by whoever)
I get 2 or more loot windows with "need/greed/pass" option and a timer associated with each one.
I press <ALT> to get the mouse cursor.
I hover over all of the items, then want to decide what to choose.
Now the interesting thing:
If I do not choose the top-listed item to need/greed/pass first but the second item, then, regardless of the choice I make, the above loot window vanishes.
Can someone confirm this?
btw, this happened several times in PK approx. 4 hours after the introduction of Shadowmantle
Also used to be first in first out but now selecting need/greed is last in selected. Very frustrating when I decided to pass junk, that moment someone pick up an epic, and I passed the epic, leaving the junk window floating.
I decided to post this since its not mentioned in today's update.
It does all sorts of odd things; the most recent one that I saw was a PURPLZ dropped from a boss, and the roll window just.. vanished from everyone's screen- no-one got to roll on it, and we got an "everyone passed" message. The loot then fell on the ground.
Then the first person who could be bothered to walk back to the boss was able to just loot the item from the ground. Luckily, it was a chilled group, and the loot wasn't anything that anyone wanted. However, can you imagine the drama if it was? The mind boggles.
Really, truly, this needs fixed stat. If the loot system is left broken like this, the whinestorm will be louder than the last time they tried to nerf TRs. Nobody wants that.
Edit: rlrobr is right, it seems to happen when multiple items are being rolled for, for what that is worth.
