gameplay vs UI

[ardenn]

Dear Smarter People than me,

Im not sure if this is a game play(by design) issue or if this is a UI issue, hence the title. I recently rearranged my UI to better suit my play style. I have noticed that when I am typing in chat, it seems to lock my left, right, forward, and back movement keys. This is a real problem, as I have fallen to by death while running accross country chatting. Maybe Im overlooking something silly, but I wanted to ask. Do any of you have any input.
