Team Invite Window Will Not Go Away if Player Logs Out While it is Visible

1. Player A sends Player B a team invite
2. Player B sees the invite, then logs out or selects the Change Character option from the main menu WITHOUT pressing the Accept, Decline, or [X] buttons on the Team Invitation window
3. Player B logs back into any character

Actual result: The Team Invitation window is still present. Additionally it is now unresponsive to any button selections and will display the following messages if the Accept or Decline/[X] buttons are pressed:

"Error accepting invite: Not invited to join the team."
"Error declining invite: Not invited to join the team."

The only way for the player to make the window go away is to do a full game client exit and restart.

Expected result: If the player logs out while the Team Invitation window is present, the window will not reappear when they log back in.

    A friend of mine encountered this bug once, except the team invite wouldn't go away even after he exited and restarted the client. He had to reboot his router to fix it.
    Waiting for a programmer ...

    This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Someone was spamming me with a team invite. I couldn't find a way to ignore team invites from this specific person so I changed characters. The team invite window was present on the other char as well, except now as you described (unresponsive, un-closeable, same error msg, etc). I don't recall if I put in a bug report. I probably did, but I didn't make a note of it.

    What I did at first is just drag the invite window behind my chat window, just hide it. Unfortunately it started playing peekaboo when other dialogue boxes came up for other stuff.

    After I exited the game, and came back later the next day, and the box was gone.

    this also happens if you have the team-invite open when a queue pops.
    most annoying.

    Yeah it's annoying but it has been like this longer than I care to remember. Bottom line is, click Accept or Decline ASAP!

    woah, I'm surprised at how much traction this topic got. My (numerous) bug report threads generally don't get responses.

    The only way I got it to go away myself, was to have a completely new invite sent, than accept it!

    Worked like a charm for me, but yes, this issue is quite annoying to say the least.
