    [Active] Skills - Selecting a different class doesn't change an active skill pane

    Tested in:
    Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168 m

    Steps to reproduce:
    - Open the hero planner
    - Select an initial class (for instance, Wizard)
    - Open one of the skill panes but do not choose a skill
    - Change your character class (to Demon Hunter for instance)

    Expected result:
    The open skill pane either changes to reflect the newly chosen class, or closes upon selecting a new class

    Actual result:
    The skill pane for the initially chosen class remains open, clicking it generates the error "Error: Skill not valid for this Hero."
    __________

    It's good that an error message is generated and the current implementation works, but I think that maybe it would be more user friendly and better security wise to change the behaviour to either of the expected results I defined?

    The alternative, having the pane update as the class selection changes, might be a good option but I imagine that may generate more data traffic, which might limit the scalability of your application.

    I have screenshots available if needed, but I can't upload them here for some reason...

    P.s. I'm a software tester by trade so I've used the template I use to report bugs at work, hope that's not a problem ^^

    Hey Cronax, totally! You are 110% correct.

    I believe this happens for Items already I just didn't get round to doing this for the skills. As you can see server security / consistancy checks work but the userablity isn't the best.

    I'll make this change when I can

    Thank you Cronax!

    edit: I just said to myself "that's a very good bug report" so yes, that was fantastic
