Once is a fluke, twice is a cause for concern. So far I have lost two potions that have activated when I have done nothing to use them. The first was a potion of haste that activated while fighting a gnoll. The potion was not quickslotted and the only thing I did was attack the gnoll. Just now I cast a cure light wounds spell on myself and a potion of aid activated on me. Again, the potion was not quickslotted, inventory screen was closed, and the only thing I did was cast Cure Light Wounds from the quickcast bar.
Has anyone else had something similar happen to them, or am I just going nuts? ((Note the two options are not mutually exclusive))

That explains a lot, actually. I've never wasted a potion, though I've ended up casting Lesser Vigor on myself without attempting (or wanting) to a few times before. Always after casting a different spell.
If this is what's needed then maybe it should be added to the what players need to know section. I've now lost 2 inviso potions that weren't quickslotted, once only realizing it when my toon was running for her life and seeing it gone.
Also, running by keyboard because of walkmesh suckage can make it impossible for party members to target you for a heal or med kit should you get dropped and start bleeding out.

Diddo. Thought I was just miss-clicking or something, with 2, sometimes 3 quickslotted spells firing off after only activating one. Hope the puppet mode suggestion works, and thanks for bringing up the problem, Sintaqx.
It's true- unless you have puppet mode ON (and it likes to turn itself off sometimes) the AI will try to make decisions (like drinking potions) on your behalf at times. Extremely annoying- I'd disable it automatically on login if I knew a scripting function that could affect those settings. Since they didn't exist prior to NWN2, I don't expect any will be forthcoming anytime soon.
