Certain keys fail to work

Sometimes, especially if I've been switching tabs, some of my keys will fail to work. My directional/movement keys still work fine, and clicking works fine, but Enter and Spacebar fail to do what they should be doing. Reloading the page fixes it.

Ubuntu x64 with Chromium.

  • I'm using Safari, and sometimes my directional/movement keys stop working. I can still click a spot on the page and start moving towards there, but while I'm moving, when I hit an arrow key I'll stop moving. The ones you mentioned work fine for me. Reloading fixes it for me too.

  • If you're messing around in another tab, the game window looses 'focus'. You need to click back on the game window to put it back in 'focus' and the keys should work fine again.

    If you're in the game window and are in chat, the game window also looses focus. You can use the arrow key to put the focus back on the game window and things should work fine.

    I've noticed more than once the game loses partial focus (either the arrows or the space bar/keyboard+hotkeys for the map stop functioning for a bit) after I've popped into another tab but not interacted with anything on it and have come right back. I'm using Chrome.

    My solution - click on a signpost in the mini map to get moving. I'm usually headed somewhere anyhow, and the reload when you change streets fixes the problems (and beats the heck out of a full reload).
