POUNCE
Description: Slark leaps forward, leashing the first hero he connects. That unit can only move a limited distance away from Slark's landing position.

Leash is a game mechanic introduced in 7.20. It's basically root except you can still walk (can't tp or use movement ability).

So, it's working as intended.

You might want to re-read the 7.20 changelog, it explicitly states that using Force Staff while affected by Pounce immediately breaks the leash and removes it.
This is a valid bug report.

[F1reb0lt]

I was going to just add the details here. This is a totally valid report.
