Quest Journal weirdness

[MagarInc]

This may not be directly related to the Profit UI, but since I haven't seen any posts about it elsewhere and the game is unplayable (at least for me) in Default, I figured to ask here.

Here's the situation, step by step:

1. Load EQ2. Everything's fine.
2. Open my quest journal (keyboard shortcut J) - Quest Helper window automatically closes.
3. Close quest journal (keyboard shortcut J) - Quest Helper Window still closed.
4. Press Alt-J to get my quest helper window back.

This happens consistently on each character. My key maps check out okay, and if it were a stuck key then I wouldn't be able to adventure normally... any clues? I haven't tried this with the default UI, but I will if I have to.
