    Hi, same here, also on Mac. I must seem awfully rude to the other players :oops:

    This is happening for me to under Linux (Kubuntu 13.10 to be exact). Fortunately, I found a workaround. The problem is with the keybinding. For some reason "enter" isn't recognized anymore. So go to "system settings" -> "keyboard" and change the chat keybind from "enter" to something else. I use "q", since that one still seems free. Same for team chat of course.
    Happy chatting again!

    I was going to vote for the bug too, as I was dismayed at seeming rude to folks unintentionally. I had a hunch though, tested it just now, and have a solution/workaround:

    Use 'fn' key on a Mac keyboard while hitting Enter/Return (and modifier with shift works too).

    This may not be ideal long term, but at least now I can get out that 'gg'.

    You stumbled upon the workaround SXX found (see the bug report), who discoverd that the enter on the keypad does work. Apparently Fn + Enter is precisely that on Macs (See here). Nice find!

    I had to rebind as well.

    Right now I'm using \ for team chat, and | for open chat. It is basically the same key with and without shift.

    But the chat (on Mac?) has an other issue. When I'm on the screen to pick up a spawning spot I can chat. But as soon as I confirm the choice, the chat is unavailable 'till the game actually start.
