Remember to adhere to the rules applicant to this and the other Economy sections.
In due to massive amount of stress maintaining these forums have created, to the point where I have gotten physically ill from it, I have retired from the Economy sections, and only maintain the Lore section - keep in mind that I have always been the Lore Moderator first and foremost. I will keep this thread here for anyone dedicated enough to continue what was started here. If you do, you have my utmost respect. Working retail is easier than this right here.
This is a list of issues currently known cosmetic related issues, as well as issues related to the model viewer. This list will also contain issues reported in the Store Bugs and Feedback section, as issues posted there are generally reported here as well, and vice versa.
This thread will remain open so that people have the opportunity to comment on certain bugs in this list, as well as report them as fixed. Please do not report new bugs here, particularly not major ones. Instead, if you have found a bug that is not on this list, and can't be found via search either, create a new thread and give a link here.
Bugs have been categorized according to type of issue, with new categories being added from time to time. Bugs that do not fit in any category will be added to the bottom in the 'Other issues' list. Next to 'Confirmed' issues, there are also lists for bugs that may be intended, bugs which may have been fixed but could not be confirmed as fixed by me, a list of fixed bugs, and finally a list of what may be perceived as bugs, but are intended.
To browse the list use your browser's search function (default ctrl+f) and try out multiple search terms that might appear in a description of your bug (heroname, item name, etc). Searching for substrings is adviced to compensate for typos (e.g. "Bounty" instead of "Bounty Hunter").
Note: it is a known issue that Strange items regularly don't track whatever it is they are supposed to be tracking. Those occurrences are to be reported in the stickied thread at the top of this section.
Note: Do you have a copyright concern for a recently added cosmetic item? It is recommended you contact a mod, who can address your concerns better than the general community. You are also free to contact the Dota 2 Team via e-mail.

- Lone Druid's back Cloak of the Dawn goes over the belt instead of under so it looks like the sickle cuts right through it.

- Swapping any hero to Lina won't change her hero icon to the proper one.

Note: This item got its own section in due to its prominence and status.
