I've had to /reloadui multiple times around (1-2 hours playing).

Seems to LOSE it's ability to work.

    Actually I logged in and took the quest to craiglorn via wagon. Once there I couldn't way shrine back. I had to wagon out of the zone. I still had to relog to use a way shrine after that.

    It doesn't seem to matter WHEN or WHAT I'm doing. Multiple toons now.

    All I know is.. IT IS BROKEN and KEEPS BREAKING!!!!!

    Very ANNOYING and was not there yesterday. Worse than the stuck talking to a vendor bug that prevented you from doing anything.

    Same issue for me this afternoon with the esc key showing it was unbound. I relogged (after alt tabbing out to quit), relogged in and it seems fine now...

    Restarting the client doesn't stop it going wrong; neither does relogging; /reloadui fixes it for a while.

    I've had it stop working in dialog with shopkeepers, and in crafting stations.

    Same issue for me, as well - Esc, 'R' and 'E' don't work after a while and I have to reload the ui to use them.

    Disabling all addons fixed it for me. I'm sure that it is only one or two of them that is doing it, but haven't looked at them one by one.

    You forget that you are still playing the beta :disappointed:

    I'm having the same problem. /reload ui seems to work part of the time and when it doesn't relogging helps for a short time. I haven't been able to identify the trigger that causes the problem.

    I hope this is near the top of the to do list of fixes after this patch.

    Had it at the banking screen... I had to alt-tab and stop the game manualy to get rid of it
    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...

    I've just been testing it with some addons and from what i see it's caused by the Exterminatus Group Leader one for me. With that addon enabled the esc key would bug out every time i destroyed anything from my inventory. Hope this helps with some of you if you have it installed.

    One thing to try -

    People who are having problems with ESC might want to try changing/checking your video settings to "windowed (fullscreen)." ESC seems to be less odd for me in that mode than in fullscreen mode.

    Nope. Still getting it in "windowed (fullscreen)" mode; just not as often.

    Yep. me too. I hope they can put out a fix for this soon as it's an introduced bug and not a long outstanding one.

    Could those of you having this issue check to see if you have any out-of-date addons enabled? We've had quite a few reports of them being related to this exact issue.

    I have no addons and it still doesn't work sometimes.

    Thank you, @brandon. If you're able to determine what might be triggering the functionality to stop working, let us know? (Like, does it happen after you zone, or after you use your map, after you alt-tab, etc.)

    happins when you use a store forsure, to like sell an item, once you leave the store the esc key wont work. I added 3 addons and i think one of them is the issue, rMark, Exterminatus Group Leader, AmiliousGuildTools, i really believe it has to do with one of these, ill have to disable the 3 at some point tonight and try.
    i added these just while i was patching, so not sure if its them or not, but never happinned before patch

    Not entirely sure of the trigger, but have seen this after opening books and using crafting stations.

    It's not just the <esc> key, but the UIs get screwed up, all sorts of things stop working, such as enchant, crafting improvements, deleting items.

    /reloadui does work but it keeps getting screwed up again, sometimes within a few seconds.

    It seems that dealing with crafting can screw it up, as can dealing with some npcs.

    Note that this is VERY similar to an error that used to happen in the Beta where you could get stuck at crafting stations or with crafting npcs. I would bet that the cause is similar.

    You should remove the "Exterminatus Group Leader" Addon. It has been confirmed by many people that removing this addon solves the issue.

    I don't have that add-on and the ESC key issue is happening to me.
