I was in a battle and I switched from a staff to a bow for my sovereign on the first turn. Then I tried to shoot an enemy. The game showed my character and the targeted enemy moving into the same space then my character striking with its staff. Later I attacked again and it moved the character back to its starting square and repeated the process.
Switching weapons during battle? 
I would really like to know how you did it, because this is a requested feature that isn't in the game yet.
In any case, please report bugs in the support forum. You can move this thread by editing it and changing the forum category.
Screenshot or it didnt happen 
I dont think you have any way to change weapon during the fight.
You need to have an army with a hero and at least one other unit. You click on the hero's portrait in the lower left hand corner during the hero's turn and that brings up the details on the hero. At the top of that where the name is, there are arrows to move to the next unit in the army. Hit that and cycle through until you get back to the hero. At that point the equipment, trade/shop, and details buttons will be at the bottom of the details window. Click equipment and you can change it. But things don't work right.
That needs to be kept, and made an option for heroes to switch weapon. Should take 1 turn to do.
Unbelievable! I have to test that myself.
In any case, it sounds more like a bug that you can actually do it.
Yes this definitely sounds more like an unintended bug but it would be nice to keep and expand on the functionality!
Note to Stardock, This bug STILL exists in the current build. Although you switch equipment, switching from a melee weapon to a bow doesn't work, although it might work if you switched only melee weapons.
However, what you CAN do is access the store and buy healing items which DO appear on the hero the following turn.
I would REALLY like the ability to switch weapons in tactical combat. You give us many specialized weapons, it's a shame that we can't choose the best one for the situation in tactical combat at the cost of the hero's turn.
Anyway, whether you decide to allow weapon switching or not, at the moment it IS a bug.
