Arbane's Sword doesn't give immunity to Web

The item description clearly shows immunity to hold while it's equipped.

Yet Hexxat with this sword has managed to become Webbed.

I attach screenshots to give evidence.

How to reproduce:

Equip Arbane's Sword, let your mage cast Web, go to the area of the spell and become hold.

P.S. Here (http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=3232) is written that Web is simply a Hold Creature effect and the relevant overlay, so the sword will grant immunity to web.

    Web and hold may have identical function but they are separate effects as far as the engine is concerned. Proof that hold and web are different things can be found in simple skeletons (skelet01.cre). Skeletons are immune to spells like hold person but are still caught by web. Arbane's sword actually is functioning correctly as is. It was meant to prevent hold creature and paralyze effects only.

    Moved to "Not An Issue" per Tresset's words.

    Summon me if it needs to be moved back to BGII:EE bugs.
