Module 2: loot rolls broken

Two possibly related issues since the Module 2 patch, both becoming major with every passing day:
1. Often a loot roll, e.g. on a Shard, will be offered to one or more, but not all players. Then the loot roll will disappear making it impossible for anyone else to roll on the loot. In extreme cases, this can and has lead to broken parties.
2. Last In First Out (LIFO) loot roll notifications. Prior to Module 2, loot roll notifications appeared in First In First Out order (FIFO) on your screen. So, the notification would appear in the order it was looted from the top of the screen to the bottom and with any loot-related key presses being sent to the top notification. Now in Module 2, loot roll notifications all appear at the top of the screen as they are looted. In addition, all key presses remain for the top notification. So, the wrong loot rolls are being often being made to the wrong item just by delaying for a moment. Alternatively, using the graphical user interface only, requires searching, tracking and not miss-clicking the desired loot on the screen as the rest of the loot appears.
Any chance this can be patched ASAP, please? The volume of broken loot rolls they generate is not small at all, as well as creating perverse incentives like looting as quickly and early as possible regardless of what is going on in the game at the time or happening to a party or disadvantages those that refuse to do so or unaware of the problem...

This is by far a minor side effect compared to the first two presented, but I thought it worth mentioning for those who didn't realize that this is why they couldn't open the chest.
Had this happen twice in Idris today to the party.
I never got to roll for the shard (not hurt about it but something was amiss). I had a choice of rolling for some purple gloves or the shard at the end of fighting the bone golem, I rolled for the gloves first, shard box went away completely. That's about as specific I could get on it. I couldn't open the chest that was in the area with the golem due to the fact that it was still waiting on me to roll for the shard. Later on I think at the forge there was another situation where it got another player.
Ah, that would explain a lot. Well spotted!

and broken dungeon queue mutch less fps with worse image quality
grapic artifacts like *greenfires* that throw up dirt on any map...
still the best mmo/rpg
but problems like this make people leave so would like to see some fixes soon preferably.
.
Sounds like the Seismic Shot bug from preview. Report it if you haven't already, they (mostly, apparently) fixed that already.
Can this bug be pushed before the new year. I have lost on on many boss loots, shards, runes/enchantments, and resources.
And, no less importantly, to solve the problem with roll results overriding (hiding) pending rolls on top of the roll list, not allowing players to roll on those. Those be appended on the bottom too.
I'm pretty sure those two problems are related.
All the disappearing roll prompts that I've experienced have always coincided with another simultaneous roll completing before I can respond to the roll prompt. As soon as the first item goes to a player, all the other pending roll prompts disappear from my client and I'm forced to pass.
Hopefully they also got the note about loot order. Such a pain rolling a pass when there was a green (always have ppl looting them when boss is dead) and now its an epic i passed on because the item i was rolling on changed
It happens when a previous item gets rolled on. This causes all the need/greed boxes still pending to disappear from view.
