4 years old bug: Escape key not working.
I know the feeling. very annoying.
This is a very old bug, sometimes if you use Escape key to remove a selected target, it just does NOT work, and you need to use the key a second time. This happens mainly in situations with a lot of action, like in WvW.
There are two annoyances about this, first you could end doing a wrong leap to a target that was not removed by escape key, you could die for that, second, the menu could popup in the middle of something when trying repeatedly to deselect your target, because it use the same key, you could die for that too.
I know the feeling. very annoying.
