Usually mid-fight, my character and/or skill menus will pop up, despite the fact I’ve assigned my skills to asdf and not 1234. Character menu is set to Tab and Skills to W. Yet despite the changes, every now and then, the skills menu will open up when I hit S to cast a spell. On top of that, it’s usually accompanied by my character’s complete lack of movement. It’s like Shift is stuck on because the sword cursor will be present the entire time. The only previous method I could find to get it to stop is just bash the keyboard like a moron, but the last time it happened I realized just quickly pressing shift seemed to cure it.
These issues always manifest at the same time and always during fights. At least, I’ve never encountered the issue just running around. For obvious reasons this is beyond annoying when your character stops moving and half the screen is consumed by a menu you didn’t open mid-fight.

I have exactly the same thing.
Playing with QWER. My experience is that after a dodge sometimes i can not move /cast do anything except dodge again for 1-2 seconds.
Maybe it has something to do with channeling spells because this started, when i changed my build to use Lightning (channel spell).
And maybe this is pure imagination but it looks like he is getting up or something.
I guess there is a knock down effect. But you getting knocked down by casting & dodging without any other interaction?
Seems wrong.

If I had to guess, it’s probably tied into latency issues with the server. I’ve noticed it most often happens when I’m in areas where other players are around and the server is trying to update on my end. You can always tell because there is momentary “lag”.
OMG I thought I was losing my mind - This started happening to me mid Helltide!
I have my inventory, map, journal, skill tree all coming up mid fight when I am in the middle of 3 mobs & the meteor attack prior to a harbinger - talk about ruining your gaming experience!
