In this video, there's a complete stop in his animation, making him useless. This can also happen with other abilities.

There's also a milder form of this bug: the game thinks an ability is still ongoing, and won't let regular attack be used. This is mostly present with Thrust Surge, and is in fact in the video as well, though it's hard to notice, since there is no indication of me trying to attack. Anyway, in the brief period between Thrust Surge and Unrelenting Advance, I tried to use the regular saber attack - clearly that yielded no effect.

((Edit: I just noticed the "What is your issue related to? General" part, lol. That's more accurate than ever before.))

    Hey, I'd like to add an additional video.

    This time, I lost the ability to use my basic block. I know that's hard to spot on video, but starting from 0.16, I think it's pretty obvious that I didn't mean to slowly walk towards Finn with my defenses down.

    I don't know what caused it, but it could be a problem with Thrust Surge: at the start of the video & after using Claw Rush, the block was not yet bugged.

    I tried out Grievous yesterday and noticed this as well.

    Directly after performing thrust surge (and it connects with an enemy), Grievous cannot melee for 1.5 seconds.

    If you kill with the trust surge, this doesn't seem to happen, Grievous can just melee.

    I've also noticed that you have to dodge or jump sometimes to be able to effectively block again after receiving a stun lock from another hero, but that doesn't only hold for Grievous (also at least Obi-Wan). Literally holding block and it does nothing. It's good that they are looking into lightsaber combat for the future, because it can use some updates!

    The bug I mentioned in my prev. post, causing block to be unavailable, happened again just now, after applying the December Patch.

    Again, block got deactivated after using Thrust Surge.

    I still get the issue where Grievous will spin sometimes when chasing an enemy with thrust surge that goes out of range and was in range before hand.  Happens a lot when thrust surging on Luke.

    Thrust surge is definitely buggy. After everytime I use it there is a small window where I can't do anything except move(not at full pace) as mentioned by @DYSPROssium, only for me it happens every time whether I get a kill or not.
