Description: This issue is inconsistent to reproduce but happens frequently. Using rebound hotkeys seems to make it happen more frequently. This issue will prevent a player from inputting text into a chat or search bar. This issue also affects the escape key and sometimes prevents a player from exiting a menu.
Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Enter a world in the latest beta.
2 - Play the game for a bit, occasionally open the chat window or search bar and attempt to type something in.
Observed Results: Unable to type, even when the entry field is selected.
Expected Results: Being able to enter text into the field.
