[Bug] Cleric/Thief loses Thieving ability if out of Set Snare charges

To access the Thieving ability (lock pick / pick pocket / etc) a Cleric/Thief Multiclass character must first press F12: Special Abilities submenu first to gain access to this ability. I have noticed the following bug:

Game Behavior at Present
----------------------
If the other special ability in the submenu is depleted (Set Snare) the Special Ability submenu button will be disabled until the Cleric/Thief rests and restores the Set Snare ability.

Correct Game Behavior
--------------------
The Special Ability submenu will still be accessible for Cleric/Thieves regardless of the number of Set Snare charges left.

    Current Behavior:
    When playing as Cleric/thief if you use all of your special abilitys the button is grayed out therefor blocking you from your thieving button. This is with no armor on.

    Expected Behavior:
    Well for the button not to gray out of course lol.

    Are you wearing medium or heavy armor? Can't use thief skills while wearing chain or plate armors.

    Ok, the issue is that in BGEE the special abilities button greys out now when you have no abilities to use anymore, but it looks like its failing to take into account Cleric/Thieves having their thieving button there.

    Don't know if it was already mentioned here, because I didn't find anything, so here it is:

    By playing cleric/thief class you already have pain to use thieving skill, which can be only accessible from ""special abilities"" menu (press F12 and then F1 to use thieving).
    But the thing is that on the same ""Special abilities"" panel there is also ""set snare"" skill and if you use it, you simply cannot access your thieving anymore - ""special abilities"" button is greyed out as if you used your special ability and stays that way! So no more open locks/pick pocket until you rest.
    I hope it wasn't meant that way.

    For multiclass cleric/thief, the thief abilities are accessed through the 'special abilities' tab on the action bar. Unfortunately, this is also where the special ability set snares is located, and this seems to be causing problems (at least for me).

    Current behaviour: Special abilities tab is inaccessible (greyed out) after every use of set snares has been expended.

    Expected behaviour: Special abilities tab is accessible even after every use of set snares has been expended.

    Apologies if this has been reported before.

    I've found out recently that the strange place of the theiving icon for a Cleric/Thief is not only inconvenient but also is buggy.
    If this character (or NPC, for example, Tiax) is out of his special abilities (he used them all and hasn't rested yet) he can't disarm traps and use lockpickting - his Special abilities icon is not active.
    This is a rather serious issue because it makes you not to use at least one of your special abilities or rest when you don't want to.

    This is a known issue and recorded in Redmine. Hopefully it will get addressed in a future release.

    And by hopefully it will get addressed I think we all mean we hope thief abilities will be removed from special abilities and put on the main bar.
