How to open doors?

I tend to stack up alongside the door with my Assault guys and breach. When ready, I press V, which is the key bound to open doors on the PC.

The problem is that the doors only seem to open say 20% of the time. The only reliable way I've found is to mash Q then V repeatedly until the door opens. As I've discovered the camera angle seems to be relevant.

Am I missing something? Or is this a bug?

Solution 1:

The position of your mouse cursor does indeed matter, it must be over the active character, the one who is opening the door. Hover over your assault soldier, hit v and watch the door silently swing open.
