Celtic Rage, LW post-parry ability failing after successful parry with 0 other attacks between parry and style

I've had about 2-3 fights (10-13 times) now where I use the Celtic Rage (LW ability where opening is: You Parry) ability directly after I parry, and it fails.

Zero attacks happen between me parrying and Celtic Rage - i.e. no enemy attacks, and no attacks by me, between my parry and Celtic Rage failing.

This is pretty annoying to not have styles go off during combat, multiple times.

I've noticed similar fails using 2hand reactive (midgard) styles without haste or celerity and slow 2hander. I always assumed I missed the window because the parry/block/evade happened immediately after my previous swing... meaning it took too long for the reactive style to still be active/viable. Hope that makes sense. Always use a backup style.

You have a 3s window of opportunity after a parry to land a parry reactionary. If you're using a slow enough weapon and parry right after you swing, the window may close before you swing again.

This is probably it.
Originally the window stayed open until you were attacked the next time, so in most cases slow 2h user now get a longer window of opportunity than before. But in edge cases like these it can lead to not being able to do the reactionary
