I’ve had this bug/glitch/problem for 3 years now, maybe even longer and there is no fix on the internet as it seems to be a niche, yet common problem that no one has figured out.
It seemed to come out of nowhere and stuck. I don’t remember doing anything different when I realised it was happening.
Is there a fix to the text chat opening randomly? What is this bug?!
When I’m playing the chatbox just opens randomly with seemingly no reason, and not just once but sometimes 4-6 times in a row, one after another from closing them. And, almost every time I play overwatch, I think it gets worse over time.
It seems to be almost trolling me as well because I would be in an intense fight or setting something up, and get trolled by the chat glitch stopping all my movement, whilst I struggle to close the chat and stay alive.
It’s like “murphy’s law”, I can almost sense that it’s going to happen because the team would be going towards a team fight or I’m going to do something important.
I know I’m not pressing it by accident because my only typing button is “Enter”.
I even tested it out by removing the text chat box key-bind altogether, but the text box would come up and I was even more screwed.
I know I’m not doing this myself, I believe this not to be a human error.
Is there a fix? It’s been happing for too long. It even stops me from playing overwatch for months, even years, as it’s simply unbearable.
All the missed chances, all the rage-inducing moments that physically and mentally hurt, because of this bug.
I’ve got a twitch clip of myself playing when it happens. (needed to space out the link as the forum doesn’t allow them)
