Adding onto Astarion, I've had problems with phase spiders seeing him who technically didn't have him in their red cone. (He was on the layer above it and not getting stealth checks).

The spider queen also sometimes behaves this way. However, unlike the small ones, combat doesn't start and she spits an infinite amount of acid. Unless you get too near, anyway. Makes me worry about more bugged enemies existing. The current cone system is prone to error, display or otherwise.

It took me a lot of reloads to sneak past her because the cone was worth nothing. In the end, she got stuck staring at my remaining party. 2 minutes. 5 minutes. Wouldn't budge. Had to thunderwave scroll her off the platform. I don't think this was broken in patch 8. Some enemies got noteably wonky instead of smarter.

The medium two in that fight pretty much wasted all their turns trying to find Astarion. I think, anyway, because they kept teleporting up there and not attacking. Maybe they accidentally broke sight on the remaining party? I don't even know

(The second spider getting jumpscared after finally detecting him was funny as hell, though. They're dumbasses, so it just screamed and froze. Maybe, it was a sound of joy after teleporting into that net to attack with advantage and instead doing nothing finally paid off (out of movement, eh?).
