    Gentoo linux, can't send messages, but i can type them in the box in team chat, game normal chat and lobby chat. I can type messages, but pressing enter has no effect.

    I believe this is linked to another problem I noticed... you can't press enter anymore when you log into the game. After entering your password you used to be able to press enter and it would sign you in. Now you have to press the sign in button.

    So I'm not alone here it seems, and it's specific to linux in 'submitting' text. There's no issue with pressing enter to bring up the textbox.

    I had this problem on my mac, chance the normal chat key to something else like <.
    It should work then.

    Task on bugtracker: PA#3448. I have this problem too.
    I suppose it's somehow related to finishing of game porting to SDL.

    Hmm, other keys are messed up as well. Shift + '-' for example pastes the text in clipboard. It seems to be mapped to Shift + <Insert>, I guess?

    What actually interesting, Enter work for me in console ('console.js'), but not work in chat's.
    I'm investigated this a bit and this looks like problem on UI-side and it's looks like "model.chatSelected" not work properly anymore. Might be client APIs related to keyboard input got broken due to SDL2 change?

    Still as I said input in console works so here is diff for workaround POC for "new_game" screen from 66863:

    Possible this can break something else and live_game a bit more complicated to fix it fast so I decide don't touch it. So it's totally possible to make temporary workaround for that, I doubt I can do that well enough. :-(
