(v0.632) Unable to attack from horseback

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, either way it does not break the game but it is annoying. In short, when I'm on horseback and using a weapon such as a sword or an axe, I can attack fine if I have the left or right yellow attack arrow. Sometimes however (especially when I'm very close to an enemy) the down arrow appears and I can't attack at all. This even occurs when I'm "looking" to the left or right to get the left/right arrow.

Occasionally this happens when I'm facing an opponent directly in front of me, in which case it's expected. Other times it will happen if, as I said, I'm very close to an enemy but the enemy is to my left or right. I'm wondering if this happens because I'm "looking down" with the mouse at the time? I don't think its the case because looking higher doesn't really fix the problem and the down attack arrow stays until I move away from the enemy. The problem is easily reproducible and happens consistantly.

When I'm not mounted the up/down arrows allow attacks as normal, and weapons like lances which use the down attack work normally from either the ground or horseback.

I hope this hasn't been mentioned before, I only scanned the titles of the posts in the bugs forum. A similar post had to do with being unable to attack because your weapon was being blocked by people around you (in a big melee). My problem happens both in big melees and in one-on-ones, and I can guarantee I'm not being blocked.
