I have everything on manual, the bug still happens.
I like having all the control, especially that I tend to play on Insanity - that's why things like this drive me totally nuts. Or e.g. the fact that there is no "aim assist off" option in the game (Xbox version). Settings are abnormally useless in MELE.
This happens to all squad members using armor that can be somehow purged. Not only Edi, James and Kaidan, but also Wrex, Grunt and Jacob. On Insanity, this is a huge drawback as the beginning of a battle often has to be quickly dealt with in order not be be overwhelmed by enemy forces.
