My character and Haiass have started getting stuck when entering a new screen. This started in Nashkel getting stuck on some stairs after going upstairs and has happened coming out of tents at the Carnival and coming out of the caves at the Gnoll Stronghold. It just now happened with Haiass when I entered the area north of the Gnoll Stronghold where he is stuck at the edge of the screen. I noticed that when I got stuck in the entrance to one of the caves that I wasn't initially stuck when going out but then I was moved into the entrance a little after exiting and then was stuck. I was able to get unstuck before by going in and out of the building with one or more characters and would eventually get unstuck.

PS. When I was at the Gnoll Stronghold and was removing Kivan to put Dynaheir in my party I didn't have the options when talking to Kivan after removing him to send him to the Jovial Juggler or Friendly Arms Inn like I usually do. I ended up moving him with Near Infinity so that I wouldn't have to go drop someone off and come back for him. (I would never remember where he is otherwise)

If Haiass is blocking you when you enter a new area, you have to select him and move him out of your way (says this in the mod's readme I believe).

Re: Kivan, you need to have the component that allows you to do that (from BG1 NPC I think). Check your WeiDU.log if unsure.

My character and Haiass are getting stuck in the doorways, stairs and on the edges of newely entered areas. (only Haiass for the edge of the area and on stairs) When I get stuck in the door way the only way the character that gets stuck can move is back into the building. When it is on the stairs and at the edge of a newly entered area Haiass won't even move at all. Since it was impossible to move Haiass out of the edge of a newly entered area I did some checking and found out about ctrl-j and have started using that to get them unstuck.

PS.I'm using a standard BWP install and Kivan does have that function except for (so far) in that specific area.

I don't know, maybe a screenshot would help to see specifics. Like I said, you should be able to select and move Haiass out of the way, unless there's other stuff blocking you also.

My main character just got stuck again (on stairs) in the left 2 houses (across the bridge) in the town you go to first in "The Secret of Bonehill" and I don't have Haiass with me. (I got rid of him awhile ago because he was useless and just kept getting killed)

[Miloch]

Then I guess you should report that in the Secret of Bonehill forum. Probably a search map issue - like I said, a screenshot would help.

These are just the latest occurrences and happen everywhere. Below is a picture of what happens when I go down some stairs and get stuck. (I automatically moved there a little after my character came down stairs) There really isn't anything to show when I get stuck upstairs since it just won't happen when my character gets to the stairs. (I click on the stairs like I usually do and my character goes to the stairs but won't go on them and then I can't move my character.

Well sometimes it happened to me too with a standard installation of bwp.
You can try to take the pc uspstairs and downstairs and maybe it solves the problem. I found out that changes area sometimes makes one of the party to block him/herself and can't go on if they are all together, but can return to the previous area and go back again to let him/her move freely (looking at the screenshot it doesn't seem your case).
I remembered also that in the temple of talos I couldn't go down to the room where is the priestess for the quest of the thieves cause where there is the door something invisible blocks it. So I tries in some ways and found out that a good fireball release the invisible wall cause it hits that something that blocks the access (insight or reveal invisibility don't reveal anything). With fireball I had to try a pair of times but in the end it worked.
I really don't try it but I think that if you can move your char to the area upstairs and with someone create some summons where the char can't go down the stair, maybe when the char returns to the area you can force the game to place him/her in a place where he/she can move freely.
That kind of "invisible walls" is terrible, fortunately in my game they are very rare.

This has been happening since Beregost and always happens in certain buildings.  The first time it happened I was able to get free once when I was stuck upstairs by using another character but when my character gets stuck on the stairs like in the above picture it is impossible to get unstuck without using ctrl-j.  (atleast until I can get teleport or dimensional door which will be a long time)
