Guild Wars 2

Fixed for me with:

Click “Show / Hide Chat Panel” – Turns solid instead of transparent.
Chat Options (the little gear):
Select Small Font from dropdown

Any time I used the chat I make sure that the chat window is visible (not transparent). But later tested with transparency and it seemed ok for me.

I have no idea which of the things actually made the difference. I know that it doesn’t lock up for me anymore. Whereas before I would lock up every time i tried chatting.

Hope this helps someone.

Happening to me too.

Win 7 and Win 8 both have same experience. I run alt keyboard layouts (ENG DV and ENG US).
