Game UI Hotkeys & Keybind Issues

I started this game out with the standard computer/laptop interface of Encounters placed at Q, E, and R. At-Wills being Left-Mouse, Right-Mouse and Daily's at 1 & 2. Today I logged in and found myself in combat, only to learn that my At-Wills and my Encouters aside from R, had been changed to joystick.
I do not own, have never used, and lack the drivers for a joystick. Further searching for a fix/the keybinds window, which at first was not available to me and only appeared after I relogged in to the same issue, showed me that somehow my defaults were changed to joystick.
This change in defaults means I can no longer use Left-Mouse Right-Mouse and instead am forced with Left-Click Right-Click which strangely enough makes my character just autoattack whereas before I attacked only when I hit the button, and stopped attacking when I stopped hitting the button. Now I start attacking and continue attacking and I can't stop attacking. My character continually attacks unless I hit Right-Click for my second At-Will attack which is a ranged attack that requires a target. If there is no target, she gets a warning and stops.
I'm not sure if anyone here understands my problem or the reason why I consider this autoattacking a problem. I've played a few MMO's and one of the biggest turn offs was the auto attacking. I just sat there and watched my character whack away, then stop when combat was over. That bored me, and a eventually stopped playing.
Neverwinter so far has meant I need to focus on combat, because it does have twitch controls. I like that. I like that alot. It makes the MMO experience more engaging for me. I especially liked the ability to dodge incoming attacks, stopping my character from attacking to do so.
Now that doesn't work. I can't dodge without my character swinging her blades, and instantly she goes right back into the foray one step at a time if I do, negating the effects of the dodge.
This is a major problem, and has put me off continuing to play. I don't like it. I'm not sure why it suddenly started (literally today) but I really don't like it. I'm not sure if its considered a bug, but since when I started the combat system and hotkeys/keybinds were completely different, I think it might be. I've relogged in and relogged out and nothings changed. Now I'm not sure if I even want to play with combat/hotkeys stuck this way. I want my original hotkey/keybind defaults back. It's very, very frustrating.

When you return to the game and your keybinds are working properly, type the following /bind_save_file filename.txt then hit enter. This will save your keybinds to a file of your choosing (replace <filename.txt> with whatever you want .txt). If you ever need to load these settings (alts, keybinds mess up again) just type in /bind_load_file filename.txt.

A control system that I can't remap to my liking is a deal breaker.
Edit-- **This happened after I played in the Foundry tool. When I completely closed the game and relaunched, I was able to assign 'left press' again, and the auto-attacking stopped.**
