Alt + Tab from game = keyboard not working

So awfully stressed by this, nearly driving me crazy as I still can’t figure out why the hell it’s happening.

Basically, whenever I Alt Tab out of the game and returned, the keyboard would stop working.

And for some weird reason, if I used mouse to open the chat box, some of the keys then started working again, such as Caps Lock, Shift, numeric + alphabetic keys, space, NOT backspace + ENTER…

Mouse control is however still there though, and no, clicking the game after I switched back doesn’t solve anything. And this keyboard malfunctioning only occur in game, if I tab out of the game, everything work like it never had any problem.

Going to character selection page or logging out does not solve the issue, I had to restart the game completely – if I do Alt Tab again however, the same issue will instantly happen once more.

Never ever encountered this problem when playing other game in the past; I have two keyboard, both encountering the same problem.

I would REALLY REALLY appreciate if someone can help me! This is very annoying…
