Random Crouching Complications

sashabeear1000
A couple days ago I logged on in the morning and did some banking and farming and everything was fine. In the afternoon, I logged on and went to do some farming only to find that my toon would just randomly crouch and my inventory would open. I thought maybe it was me but it started doing it in the middle of combat and at other odd times. Specifically - trying to unlock a chest, Dig up antiquities, dye a costume and/or interact with a bank or guild store. In the case of the chest, it is completely reproducible everytime. If I manually try to unlock a chest, I can do the first two tumblers but as soon as I go for the third, it's like I backed out of the "unlocking game" and crouched while opening up my inventory. Every. Single. Time. If I'm digging up antiquities I have no problem looking for the green square and using that first tool on the upper left. As soon as the mouse goes for the shovel (I don't even have to click) the game behaves like I'm trying to exit the dig and the window comes up that asked if I'm sure I want to leave the dig. When I respond no, it places me back in the dig and I'm able to use the shovel until the next time I try to use it and then it's rinse and repeat. Extremely frustrating. When I attempted to dye a costume, I could click and dye a couple channels and then it would behave like the digging thing and ask me if I want to abandon what I'm doing. I respond no and it let's me continue but it MAY do it again. Sometimes when I go place things for sale in a guild store, I'm closed out mid-way through a transaction and my character crouches and the inventory screen opens. During combat my toon will randomly crouch and the inventory screen will open up. This never happens at a good time. It's easy to come out of crouch and close the inventory screen but it shouldn't be happening in the first place.

Since these issues have started I have turned off all addons (no change) Removed addons (no change) Re added them (no change). Re-installed the game (no change) Tried it on all toons and they all have the same issue. Opened the crown store (and it put me in crouch and opened an inventory screen LOL) Traveled to different zones (no change) Tried emotes (no change) At this point I don't know what to try next. I changed absolutely nothing on my computer between the time I logged on in the morning and when I came back in the afternoon. The mouse and keyboard are functioning perfectly as far as I can tell. The fact that the chest tumbler thing is reproducible really makes me wonder what is going on. Any suggestions? And yes, I did open a ticket though I haven't heard anything yet.

    Do you use Discord? If so, was it open at the time? The Discord overlay has caused this issue now and then ever since they released the new look version.

    I do but I don't use any overlay. I'm not sure how to access a Discord overlay.

    Don't have discord active and see if the crouch problems stop. The overlay is on by default.

    No such luck. Still crouching!

    Ok, next suggestion:

    Unbind your crouch key and see if the problem continues. If it stops then re-bind the crouch but to a different key and see if the problem starts again.
