Menu keybind not functioning.

The only thing I can think of is maybe checking out what keyboard layout you're using. I had a similar problem with using a UK English keyboard layout that would switch the places of @ and ; that I can remember. I know some installations of Windows tend to assign a default language and keyboard layout based on what location the computer is set to be in, and if you're in the UK or in some other place with with a non-standard standard keyboard layout, that could be throwing you off.
Check your Windows Language Bar to ensure your default is English (United States) or at least make sure that's what you're using when you're playing the game.
If that's not it, then I have no idea.

Both my desktop and laptop do that; even though the backslash ke actually types a backslash in text fields, I still have to rebind it as ] to open the menu. This causes the backslash to open the menu, but the right square bracket does not.
I suspect it does have to do with language settings, as Samuel said. Mine are English(Canadian).
It really has no effect on the game, if you bind both \ and ] to open the menu. That would be my suggestion.

I have to do this with ; since it now puts up / ...

/bind ; beginchat ;
</pre><hr />
fixes that little red wagon.
you can alter your keybind for ] in the Option->Keymapping, but you'll have to use the mouse to get there first.

Okay, THIS sounds really familiar -- under "Menu" ==> "Options" ==> "Keybinds" I used to have both " / " and " ; " under "Begin Chat (include keystroke)" -- at some point last week I noticed that I too was getting " / " even if I hit the " ; " key....
I according to that window, I remapped ONLY the " ; " key and nothing else, but when hitting that key I still got a " / " instead.
On Friday I petitioned it, and got a "we're bumping this up to a Senior blah blah" reply and nothing since. While I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone in this, is this just another problem they're having with the chat interface/UI? So far I'm counting three of them and I'm probably missing some others.

Hey folks, I just got a new laptop ( Not the important part ) and I seem to have a bug where when I hit the backslash ( \ ) to open the menu, the UI is reading that as a right bracket ( ] ) instead and failing to open the menu. I've had this bug before and can't remember how it got fixed. Any ideas?
