Bug type: Item(?) / Map

Brief bug summary: Elite Champion and Elite Boss Orbs disappear if you stand on top of them as they appear, and then reappear later.

More details:

If you're on top of an Elite Champion or Elite Boss Orb right as it spawns, it will disappear and you won't get the EXP. But if you re-enter the map or wait about 2 minutes, the orb will reappear like normal and reward the EXP.

Combo Orbs used to be bugged in the same way, but it was fixed years ago.

I have recorded a video to show both scenarios (re-entering the map + waiting 2 minutes)


Steps to reproduce:
1. Defeat an Elite Boss or Elite Champion, and stand on top of an orb as it appears. Notice that the orb will not give you the EXP.
2. Re-enter the map or wait about 2 minutes. Notice that the orb will reappear and grant the EXP.
