Shortcuts sometimes out of service

Beta3 - German: Two times it happened that keyboard was not working, even <ESC>. Mouseclick and gaming was normal only keyboard input was disabled/nonfunctional. Sadly I cannot reproduce the behaviour, but I remember both times I was changing while in game via <ALT>-<TAB> to other programmes (Firefox/Paint.net/Windows Explorer/Notepad++). After focusing back on AK the keyboard usually works but not these two times. I had to quit the programme by task-manager in that way.

That is an odd one.

It has never happened to me.

Is it to do with computer system resources?

How much RAM do you have?

Chris10's thread here may be useful to you?

I've got 4 GB of RAM in my system and the game didn't crash (I could further play by mouse) so I think it could be some other kind of reason, not the one Chris10 described.
Forget to mention: in beta2 this behaviour don't appear - maybe luck.

Yes, an odd one. Has anyone else ever seen this?

zappel, if/when this happens to you again, please try the following things:
- Click, double click tactical map
- Click, double click UI background area (no buttons etc.)
- Open/close some popup screen, like Purchase
- Alt-tab out of the game and return back to it

Perhaps this thread might shed some light?

I'll try if this behaviour will arise again.

Click worked as usual (jump to the point on the large map), what should happen by double-click?

Made whole time while writing this post, nothing happend but shortcuts including <ESC> are still not working. Saved a game via button and opend message window, could write both times so keyboard input was always available. Finally end the turn and anything worked as usual only shortcuts not:

Closed and restart the game and anything including shortcuts were working.
