Shimmer interrupting casts?

So I noticed this since shimmer came out which was in Legion I believe. It interrupts my casts everytime I use it on my mage.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I literally press the cast, don't press any mouse/keyboard keys besides shimmer and it interrupts my cast. Have tested it in front of friends who say they have no idea and I should report a bug.

I'm just curious if I'm the only one and if not, how to fix it?

This, especially the last one. If you shimmer and lose your line of sight, the spell will be cancelled and that's how it should be. It's no different than starting a cast and then holding the D-key to turn away. Turning like that doesn't count as movement and won't cancel your cast but eventually you will lose LoS and the spell will cancel from that.

I’m having exactly the same problem as the OP and unfortunately the answers here didn’t help.

After a lot of testing, the problem lies with the passive “Arcane Momentum”. After unlearning it Shimmer stopped interrupting my casts and is working as intended.

It’s happened to me a couple times. I’m guessing you have the issue when you double blink away? I don’t have issues unless I use Shimmer twice… that tells me I am artificially LoSing myself by trying to turn back with my mouse after I get too far away… Other than that, I don’t have that issue anymore.

If it comes and goes, it’s almost always latency issues, and it can be on their end too.
