Strange number problem

Sorry if the title is a little vague, as it is hard to describe this problem, but here goes. When in a dungeon, and i want to use a vial, i use a number corresponding to a vial (1,2,3 or 4) depending on how long i press it, either i will use the vial as i wanted to and everything goes smoothly or it will trigger a emote/command such as "Follow me" or "I have found something interesting"

When i press the button so that an emote has been triggered, a strange problem occurs. Let's say, i pressed the 1 button to select a vial. After the emote, if i want to talk or write anything in chat, the game thinks I'm holding down the 1 key. So when i try to write "ty" for instance, what comes out is "1111111t1111111y11111" or something along those lines.

I have gone to controls and turned off the emotes from the 1,2,3 and 4 keys so they only trigger vials, but this problem still occurs except without emotes.

Any suggestion?

P.S. I'm running the game on a mac

There's your problem.

Okay now for real.

Is this problem only occuring in THIS game or does your '1' perhaps jam a little?
Do you play windowed mode or full screen?
Did you try to reset your key binds to default?
Have you tried to reinstall the game?

@ Circled It only happens in

@ Circled It only happens in the game, I'll have Word or something else open, and it'll be working just fine, but the game will think I'm holding down the number, even if i log out, in my password it'll continue to stream that number.

I've tried resetting my keys to default, and i play in windowed mode usually, but when i do play full screen it still happens.

I reinstalled it once to no avail, but I'll try again.

@ d0gr0ck thank goodness it's a known issue, i thought it was just me. Often my party mates will be very confused when i try to type something and all i can say is 222222222. Is there any way to temporary alleviate, or avoid this problem until it is fixed for good because it can be quite a hassle.
