Jan 7th Patch - When PMing, various HOTKEYs trigger, from run, walk, ...

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Strangely today even when I type to PM or in chat, it also constantly keeps tripping my hotkeys. I'm clearly in the chat window, and in process of drafting a /tell or Private Message. Yet my character suddenly starts to run, walk, tries jumping thru or into walls, various other UI menu's are all popping up.

Simply because they keep tripping UI commands that should be DORMANT while the chat window dialog is active, it in fact worked fine yesterday until today...

    Seems after I did a 'Force Verify' this problem seems to have gone away after relogging.

    Now I might even try the event and see it this works... ...Khitomer Vortex seemed to in fact progress it. Though I don't know if Force Verify helped a few things after the patch today.

    Just very unusual because I hadn't ever seen this strange 'chat' behavior prior to today's patch.

    I don't remember the exact details but for me many time alt (and/or enter if needing to also enter chat mode etc) "solves" it, as if it's stuck in a wrong toggle mode so to VERY inaccurately speak.

    BTW I had the issue before and I even had the related auto run/auto spin and an non intended full size window to smaller window mode switching behavior as well (both related IIRC to alt key being registered as pressed / "stuck"), though the auto spin and window mode switching behaviors more frequently appeared on my dying, less responsive comp so may be related to that thing too. This also might happen more frequently to people who try to switch language layouts, due to the involvement of the alt (and alt tab) key/s.

    I don't know the reason or the relevant technical language here but this information seems relevant enough.

    Yea I also heard someone say, "Some people said using the search screws up your text messages or something. I haven't touched it."
