Are you having the "focus shift" problem?
By: Torhad Posted on May 7, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Back in Open Beta I first noticed a problem that continues to happen. When I loot an item (resource node, corpse, etc), the focus shifts to the chat window. So, when I try to move, I am stuck until I double-click in the environment. This is usually just an annoyance, but there have been times where it almost cost me a defeat. For instance, last night I was in some ruins in the Lone Lands with my Hunter and had just finished killing a MOB. Right after I looted it, 4-5 MOB's respawned and I instantly aggro'd all of them due to proximity, so they attacked me. I wanted to run, but I was stuck due to the focus shift! By the time I realized what had happened, I was at half morale and had to pop a potion in order to finish them off. I submitted a bug for the problem to Turbine after the first 20 times it occurred, so I don't know what else to do. So, my question to you is: have you had this problem? If so, please submit a bug so it will get some attention from the dev's!

I've never had that problem.
How do you loot (right-click to get the box, or by using U when corpse is selected)?
Are you using default keymapping (maybe same key goes for more than one command, if at all possible)? -

I do have the opposite problem though. I keep going into the same trap over and over again, by chatting while mining/foresting and then suddenly open a lot of panels and jump a few times when the loot panel pops up and removes focus from chat. ^^
I never learn from that mistake. *smacks head*

I think I've always double-clicked a corpse to loot it or a resource node to harvest it, which should be the same thing as right-clicking. I don't use the keyboard for it at all. I will try right-clicking to see if it makes a difference, but it will hard to break my habit!

Oh yeah, those dang habits tend to get really stuck.
