Chat Bug (Extremely Annoying)

I don't know if this is happening to just me or to other people, but sometimes out of nowhere I will press U (Local) or O (OOC), and my camera shoots up, and I can't type, I can't open up console, I can't bring up the home menu, If I'm a Government Official my radio breaks (gets stuck on voice receive so anytime I try to talk all Government officials hear me and I can't turn it off, or where I can't talk on radio at all.) My Inventory HUD disappears (like F1 brings up hands and Physgun, but I can't see it) I can't open up any PERP menus, I have to press CTRL+ALT+Delete and open up task manager and force Garry's mod to close and restart it again. I've tried having admins/mods kicking me from the server so I don't have to open task manager and load up Garry's mod+The server, and have it where I just have to load up the server, but now that crashes Garry's mod, so I have to open up task Manager anyway, if it's not the server's problem and it's mine, any fixes you know of to fix this? It's super annoying, happened about 10 times already in the past week.

Try to record it happening. Preferably Fraps or something like that.

SWEET. I got RDM but I wasn't recording so I ripped out my Bandicam, and was recording, on my way to a call (I was SWAT) when I was replying to someone's OOC post when the glitch happened. Hopefully I didn't delete the video, and I'll see to it ASAP that I show you the video, I share a gaming computer with my brother and my other computer and two laptops are shit, one was made in the early 2000's, one has a 1.3 processor (which I'm on) and the comp has about as much memory as the first cell phone ever made, so my PERP options are limitless, but as soon as I get on I'll show you the video. Thank you for replying!

Try the above. Otherwise it could very well be a GMod bug. Cause PERP bugs should not prevent you from being able to leave the server, quit Gmod, etc.

2nd time it happened today, I have to type in console because I'm scared of having to reconnect. Here's a video of it. It's about 0:40 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypDNN2cLz44&feature=youtu.be

OMFG. If you watch to the end where I have to end Garry's Mod through Task Manager you see the Santa in the background "Ho Ho Hold the fuck up!"

Bump

 

Having the same problem. There is no distinct way to recreate the bug. Whenever you press Y to type it moves your FOV up in a linear pattern.

 

Really annoying, cause after you type, the chatbox stays open with all the previous chat visible on the left side of your screen, AND any time you press Y again, your character recreates the pattern.

 

edit: the chatbox being open prevents you from pressing escape and returning to the menus.

I found out a way that makes this bug for me, DO NOT ALT TAB! Even if you press the window, if you minimize garry's mod it will mess it up like that. If I were you though I would bind something like this "Bind \ "disconnect"' That's what I do so I can disconnect very easily.
