For some reason, when I use the “Log Out” window to access the “Character Select” button, a simple press of a spacebar triggers the “Log Out” button. It’s like someone messed with the dialog UI which has the default focus on the Log Out button.

I’m posting that issue because I don’t think that issue happened before that game update on March 17.

I’d prefer the default selection to be “Character Select”, not “Log Out”.

Please fix that. Or give us the options to select a default button.

This is still an issue. Please disable the focus on the “Log Out” button.

That’s not something that’s on everyone’s game. Did you check control options to see what is assigned to your spacebar? Try putting something else on spacebar to see if that changes it maybe.

Be careful what you ask for

As flesh wound said, check every setting you have. If you’re running using a USB keyboard check to see if anything is bugging out or assigned to different functions. I’ve found that, sometimes, I’ll assign a key on my keyboard for a certain task when I work, and I forget at times that it’s still assigned to that when I log in.

Nothing else is assigned to the space bar other than the “Use” function. The log out window is assigned to F12 key.

The problem is some UI designer carelessly set a focus/default button on the “Log Out” button on the Log Out window, which forces the game to quit if the space bar is accidentally pressed, which is weird because the game doesn’t have the feature to navigate and highlight buttons using the arrow keys.

Idk, I have jump assigned to my spacebar and use it numerous times a play session. It’s never logged me out. Even when nothing was assigned to my space bar it didn’t do that. Try assigning something else to your spacebar and see if it overrides your problem. I’ve never heard of this problem before on the forum. It sounds like it’s specific to your computer.
