Escape Key Randomly Stops Working

Sometimes, usually after playing for an hour or more, some functions in the game's UI stop working. "Convert to Imperial style" stops working. Spending skill points stops working. Most noticeable is that the Escape key stops responding, so alt-tabbing and closing the game through the task manager is the only way to log out.

Restarting the game fixes the issue, but it seems to pop up again after any lengthy play session. It's odd, since combat still works fine, as does talking to NPCs. Just a few things... break without much cause so far as I can tell. Anyone else getting this, or know of a possible cause?

Thanks for reading :blush:

    Hey there @Darkstorne,

    We'll start with a sort of support cornerstone here. Do you happen to have any addons running? Addons have the ability to affect the interface in various ways, and may cause issues that are not present in the base game. If you could please disable any addons you have running, let us know if the issue persists.

    If you never had any to begin with, let us know and we'll be happy to continue assisting you!

    Good point! I do have a few addons enabled. I'll try disabling them and see if that fixes the issue. Will take a while to test since the issue doesn't tend to kick in during shorter play sessions. Thanks for the response :)

    No problem! If you find that they aren't the issue after some more extended testing, let us know and we'll be happy to keep digging!

    I know it dont solve your problem, but do a /reloadui when that happens, and you get the escape key back, and the other stuff that dont work, and you can log out without doing alt+tab:)
