I havent played the game much since the beginning of the latest PvP season, but today when I downloaded the new patch to play the new release (hype!) I fell into this bug repeatedly, where I seem to lose control of my character. The keyboard stop working in-game. I can still use my mouse to activate skills, so its not a sever connection issue.
It must be a new problem, because I havent seen anything online about it after a fast web search.
Anyone else fall into the same problem?
It seems to happen randomly as I’ve experienced it at different places and only a complete log off seems to help the problem, temporarily.
Cheers!

Confirmed. I had the same issue in chapter 1.

Me to in the grotto instance. The only keys that would seem to work were the arrow keys, I could not even type a text chat. Finally I just quit the client and restarted things and thanked the fact that I did not lose much instance progress.

Reason #1868127389 why I can not stand instances. They are all-or-nothing.

Yeah this is the same issue for me and my wife. It happens all the time to her, not just in instanced content.

Sorry for the bump, but I’ve encountered the same bug at least once a day since…I think August 1st? I’m not 100% certain.

It only seems to happen for me in combat, usually when I’m participating in an event. It’s happened to me in PvE and WvW (I’ve only been in the Heart of the Mists and not actual PvP matches since this issue started occurring). Fortunately, it hasn’t happened in Fractals of the Mist, but that may just be luck.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with playing the Mac client in fullscreen; I’ll try windowed later and update if the bug persists.

UPDATE: I had a good run, but today the bug came back while playing in windowed mode.

Please keep us posted about this bug!
