Follower troubles (invisible blue circle fix not working)

OK so, as the title states I've found myself with an invisible blue circle and the suggested fix ( game.party[0].follower_remove( game.party[1]) ) is not working. This occurred after I loaded my previous save during a battle which was not going my way. Meleny did not die during that battle and all of saves made before the last show her normally.

(I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post. I could not find a place dedicated to bug issues; though to be honest I did not look very hard :-\. )

 

I would suggest reloading one of those earlier saves and going from there. This game bugs sometimes and does wierd stuff.

Just the other night I charmed an assasin and it practically froze my game, everything was going so slow. I had to reload and redo that battle with out charming this time and I was fine.
