Bug? Dorna won't open locks or disarm traps

Hi, all. I'm sure this isn't a new bug, but I couldn't find a thread on it. I'm in the Anauroch Desert part of SoU, and Dorna has stopped thieving. That is, when I try to open a locked door, she makes no effort to open it. When I see a trap, she makes no effort to disarm it. Can I fix this without going to an earlier save? My last save was a while ago, and these Stinger archers make me angry - I'd rather not fight them all again.

Have you talked to her about tactics, training etc?

At one point another henchman seemed to have lost one of his abilities. I dismissed him and then rehired him which solved the problem. So that is worth a shot too.

I tried talking to her, but there was no option to "resume thieving" or anything. I also asked her to wait for me, and then picked her right back up, and that didn't help. To be honest, I think the problem came up when I asked Deekin to join me while Dorna was still with me... he didn't take her place, but she stopped "working". If I tell her to get lost, can I still pick her back up? Do I need to pick up a different henchman in between to make her reset?

Any help, anyone? Can I fix this with the console?

I tried dropping her, picking up Deekin, and then picking her back up and that didn't help. Incidentally... isn't Deekin also supposed to try and disarm traps? He sure didn't.

I found the dialog option asking her to try and unlock things that I can't open, but there's no option to have her do traps.

I also found the "handle trap" button in the radial menu, but it's grayed out and doesn't do anything.

Given that my roommate ran into the same bug with Tomi in NWN, I feel like this has to have cropped up before. Any ideas out there?

If her thieving skills are not high enough then she will not try to disarm a trap. As Dorna can be a cleric, a rogue or a cleric/rogue this may be the issue.
