HI,
  Windows 7 64 bit, MG Beta1 and release,  windows default input language EN, additional input languages TH.

Steps to reproduce -

Open MG, select 'New Game'  - 'Internet Game'
Press Enter to chat, send a message or 2. Now ALT-TAB

Does not happen every time, sometimes first time, but not more than 5 or 6 times. I do not do this quickly, I alt-tab 1 or 2 mins (after replying to email etc) tab back. I never switch input languages, TH is for my wife and she rarely uses my PC.

Result -
  typing into game lobby chat appears to do nothing, no characters show. I can see others new messages appearing though.
Press enter and others can see what I typed, I cannot and what I typed does not show in main chat window.
I can see replies to the message I cannot see.

in the current release version I found that pressing Alt key - release, press CTRL - release and ESC - release - then I could see what I was typing again,

In beta1 this does not work. I have to quit and restart MG.

Regards
BaDboD

Not sure if this is in the beta or not. ColdfusionStorm can you test his scenario (or anyone else) and see if tyou can reproduce this in Windows 7?
