Can't. Freaking. Log.
This happened to me once, a few years ago. In my case, it turned out to be a game controller that I had completely forgotten I had plugged in, which had buried itself under a pile of papers and what-not, turned upside down, and so some of its buttons were being held pressed down.
That's all I got, sorry!
You know, that was the one thing I hadn't considered, it would explain why messing with the keyboard and mouse do nothing, and I see no indication in Microsoft Word when I try to troubleshoot there, and the problem did reappear right around the time a reconnected my gamepad!
So I checked it, and sure enough, one of the buttons was at an inconvenient angle! It's a bit of a "d'oh!" moment that I didn't put two and two together on that one, but I appreciate the help!
LOL! Well I'm glad I was able to help! I'm also glad it was a very simple solution!
Okay, this is the strangest bug ever, and happens to me on a fairly regular basis. I'm pretty sure it's on my end, but not sure how to deal with it, so I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this:
Sometimes, I can't keep menus open. It's as if an invalid key is being pressed rapid-fire, causing them to disappear as quickly as they appear. This happens with the options window that pops up from the health bar, as well as pretty much every right-click menu in the game. What's more, because of whatever causes this...I can't quit the game when it happens! The window-interrupting also interrupts the quit countdown, meaning unless I'm really lucky and can Quit to Desktop -> Exit Now really fast in rapid succession (without my own clicking shutting off the countdown), I have to use the Task Manager to basically "crash-out" the game.
Like I said, I think this is probably something unique to me, but at the same time, it had stopped for several months and has now happened fairly frequently in the last week or so, so I sorta wonder if this is a problem anyone else is familiar with.
Oh yeah, and when this happens, it stays "happened", with no way to fix it without restarting my computer. If I launch the game again, I get the same bug.
