CAUTION in Wentworths: There's a potential Button breaking bug here somewhere!

I am posting here because it seems I cannot even post a bug report in the game. It all started with me winning a salvage auction (and not a cheap common one either!). I claimed the salvage; it successfully added to my inventory. I went to the next auction I had won. Clicked claim....nothing. I hit it repeatedly. Nothing. I went to Get the salvage I had stored, nothing. None of the buttons in Wentworths would do anything. Logically, I decided to file a bug report. I brought up the UI window, and when I click the button to submit the report...THAT BUTTON DIDN'T WORK EITHER! Next, I tried email. I had a friend send me a gift of 100inf. The button to claim that did not work. I hit the Reply button. That one did not work. I rebooted the game: same problem. I rebooted and swapped to a different toon: SAME PROBLEM! Now, suddenly, none of my characters can claim any items won or stored in WW, or send emails, or file bug reports. And I am not a spammer.

I would use extreme caution in using Wentworths and claiming items. Or maybe I just wouldn't use any of the buttons in the UI in the game. Or maybe....hopefully....someone is onto this issue and working diligently to fix it.

I wouldn't know since I can't even file a petition.

I haven't heard of such a problem before, and would assume that it is something in your end.

Have you checked that none of your keys on the keyboard are hanging.
And if not, have you tried to quit and re-logging.

It sounds like this problem. The UI buttons seem to freeze until you restart. Its not just you.

I saw this post...and am wondering if somehow I got tagged as a spammer...which I am not (similar to the poster in the other thread). The difference is none of my buttons were greyed out. They all were clickable, but they did nothing when clicked. And it wasn't confined to WW, but to any button. I could click powers, and type in the chat window, etc. Therefore, I am confident I don't have a stuck keyboard button somewhere.

As I mentioned...I did restart the game. Twice in fact. I have just shut down completely and rebooted. We'll see if that makes a difference.

Even if it does....who wants to have to reboot their system every time they complete a single purchase in WW? Clearly it is a bug.

Well...rebooting didn't fix it either.

As mentioned...I can CLICK the button (I can see it press and depress), but nothing happens. The little red close-window buttons work. I can change tabs fine. But neither the Find nor Get buttons work. If my mouse button was stuck, I'd get similar results no matter what I clicked. If a keyboard button was stuck, I'd expect other odd performance no matter what I was clicking. But instead it is ONLY these command buttons in various UIs.
