Losing input after closing a window

I start my game and can move around with the keyboard. I click on a button that calls setVisible(true) on a GuiWindowCtrl window that has various textedit fields on it. It is not modal so i can still move around and click to select objects in the scene. But once I close that window, the keyboard input is no longer going to the main playgui. I can still click on objects and select them but I can't move.

Once in that state, if I open the window that caused this, I can move around but lose that as soon as I close the window.

Then it gets stranger...
I click on another button that changes the content of the canvas to something else. When I close that it sets the canvas content back to playgui. I can move around like normal. When I open the window that is causing trouble, I can move. When I close it, i can STILL move.

Is there some way of finding out where the input is going when it isn't allowing me to move?
Is there any way to tell it that I want PlayGui grabbing the input when I close that window?
Will the caped crusaders escape the evil clutches.....

EDIT:
I should also add that these windows are in their own .gui files. PlayGui::onWake loads them if they do not exist and adds them to itself. I've tried both .add and .addGuiControl with the same results.
