Annoying that buttons continue to go "stale"

I'm sure that I'm not the only person to experience this but from day one of my playing this game. Which it's been going on two months now, I've had a problem which occurs roughly every ten minutes or less. Constantly I'm having to hit /reloadui because for some reason or another, on anything and everything keys are going "stale". For example, if I'm talking to a vendor and I buy something, sometimes I'll just hit escape to exit the menu because it's a force of habit. Nothing happens. The menu doesn't close. I have to hit the (default) I key to close it. Then when the menu closes, and I try to hit escape to open the escape menu, nothing happens, like the key doesn't work or it's not bound. Or say I'm trying to empty my bag and dropping or deleting items. They'll just turn grey and become "locked", and nothing can be done about it until I again, /reloadui. It's happened talking to npcs for quests and such. I'll talk to them and one of the options I have to hit won't "click". It just does nothing until yet another /reloadui. It's beginning to get incredibly frustrating having to do that every couple minutes. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and repaired my game to no avail. I really hope someone has some insight on how this might be fixed or when it might be fixed.

    Have you tried asking in the Support forums?

    And since it'll be the first question they ask you: what add-ons are you using?

    Update all your addons and/or try disable em one by one to find the villain. Had that aswell a while ago. Figured out that 1 Addon in my list produced that behavior. It was Autoemote if you are curious.

    I keep my addons up to date with minion. Checking every day before i log in.

    BTW, after i got rid of that addon named above, i never again had to encounter that "bug"

    Let us know if this helped ;)

    This bug has been around since launch. ZOS does not care. ZOS does not have the skill to fix it. ZOS did not write the code in this game. It is why I stopped playing NB; some NB actions seem to trigger the problem at a very high rate.

    Hmmmm. I played a NB through beta and am still currently playing one and have NEVER had this issue. I am not sure that it is the game creating this issue.
    Add-ons, sticky keys, keyboard macros should be checked.

    I had that issue a few times in the beta... but haven't since launch, unless my client was about to log itself out due to lag (which has happened a few times since launch, but not recently).

    I believe this is an add-on problem. Disable them for awhile and see what happens.

    This is correct. It is most definitely addon related. Try searching for escape addon or similar, or just update them all.

    I don't know how this can ONLY be addon related because I've had this problem since day one. I've only gotten addons within the last 2 weeks I'd say. So I've had the problem since before getting them. I have no idea what it'd be.

    My attack buttons sometimes seem to do nothing. I end up just sort of watching baddies attack me.

    I had that on my nightblade. Flurry was bugging it out. so you have to double tap esc. then it magically works again.

    This (and the aforementioned Nightblade issue) are a different glitch, which has been mostly fixed. It only occurs when a long-cast ability (like Flurry and its morphs) gets interrupted. Sometimes, the game freaks out and locks you from combat. It is fixed (although I haven't seen it happen in some time) by hitting Esc or Alt twice to get to the menus and back.

    The OP's issue is something I haven't heard of before, and I'm very surprised that add-ons don't look to be the root cause.

    I really haven't the slightest clue as to what is wrong or how it could possibly be fixed. It's incredibly saddening.

    Is there still no one with any idea on how to fix this? It's gotten pretty annoying.
