Yes, this is an annoying, near-gamebreaking issue for me. If this happens, only way is to force shut down the game via task manager/Alt+F4.

I think the easy solution would be to allow keyboard interaction with the yes/no window (e.g. press ESC to close it).

The problem is you need to unlock the camera before you get to the "yes or no".. If you are going to use the lfm or any other panels other than ship buffing or the guild portal you unlock first.

Like I said, if you want to use the lfm panel hit "o" to open it and then hit "T" to unlock the cam and you wont have any problems once you get to the yes or no windows etc etc.

There's no need to hold down the right mouse button. You guys basically found a way to glitch it so stop using the glitchy method?

The problem is that the game switches you to cursor mode automatically any time you open a window in mouselook mode. Every time, except the above-mentioned yes/no window, which glitches the whole thing.

If you hit T while a window is open, I believe you actually put yourself back into mouselook mode.

It's a problem because I/others run in mouselook mode all/most of the time, and this bug is reproduced by using the mouse functions normally as you would in mouselook. I rarely/never switch views permanently, but rather hold down RMB to change temporarily. So if, say, you're in a hurry on your way to a quest and want to change/close your LFM quickly, you're more likely than not to reproduce this bug.

What he said exactly.

I've been reporting and complaining many times about this over the years. Indeed feels sometimes like I'm the only mouselook mode using player but of course I'm not, it's just too frustrating for people like me to report simple obvious bugs and get zero feedback in the matter other than the automated email reply.

The fact this bug is easily proven and clearly reported and still not at least in the official "Known issues list" is quite shameful honestly, kind of like somebody doesn't wish to admit to knowing this... fishy, and the base cause of player-dev mistrust (not this specific bug but the phenomenon).

Basically the problem is closing the LFM menu reverts to Mouselook state whether or not the YesNo query window shows up, and while the query window is up it becomes focused and locked on but won't respond to any keys. I went over all key mapping options and none of them managed to release the mouse, accept or abort the afforementioned query window. Can't even type in anything (like explaining to your party you're stuck and going to restart).

Please, somebody,
Do something about it...

(Probably won't)
