Angry Click Targeting Self in Third Person, Area Too Large

When in third person camera the area on the sceen for left and right clicking around the player is too large. It's targeting my character and not corpse or surrounding objects unless they are precisely clicked on.

250 pixels Left and Right of the very edge of my character targets my character.
250 pixels above the edge of my character name targets my character.
(pixels based on scrolled out third person)

This is a pretty awful bug when trying to play the game in any of the f9 camera angles.

Any hope this is fixable?
(tested with Troll race)

Note: clicking other players, corpse etc work fine with left click, but suffer from this bug with right click.

Here is an example, if I click in any of the red area it will target my character.
And as such, things like Looting are difficult to access.

I want it to be clear that if you left click on a specific object or npc inside their model, the issue is not apparent.

And while some may write this off as a 'client'side problem, I think those dev's in the know, may have a solution.

edit: testing was done in windowed mode at 1600x900

This third person is bullshit anyway and it might be intentional. The only third person camera directly behind you back in the day was right up your ass and you couldn't target jack shit with the mouse.

I'm thankful every day that they decided not to restrict you to first person and F9 views, I highly doubt they'll ever do anything to help your above issue, because if they were to do anything they'd just remove 3rd person scroll. Just gotta count yourself lucky they've kept 3rd person, it's how you enjoy your fashion quest while playing p99.

Incase you were wondering what that walking skeleton on the horizon in Qhills is? It's a large bat.
