Chat suddenly stops.

I think this is a known bug, but since it wasn't addressed in the 1.1 update, I'll put it back on the radar:

Every once in a while, for no good reason, the in game chat will stop working. First your message doesn't show up. Then when you type again it's in ALL CAPS and you can't use backspace. And nothing you type will show up.

You can fix it buy fiddling with Shift and CapsLock. It usually takes a number of pushes and then turning capslock on and off with the chat box visible and not visible.

It's quite annoying, I hope it's fixable.

Pressing CTRL sometimes seems to correct it too.

This bug is still in 1.5.2, 5 years later.

Any plans on fixing it?
