:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
shortly into one of Dave_AOE’s famous world diplo matches, player ope_oh_jeez attempted to click the diplo button (the one with horns) and the game became unresponsive. The game went on as usual without them dropping from the game. They regained control when they were defeated but upon clicking the horn button again for the game to resume unresponsiveness.

This is the host’s POV as the user’s POV cannot be retrieved.

This is all the same behavior that occurs with hitting Alt-T twice (chat window) and someone else’s reporting of hitting ESC after Enter. The end-result is that the game becomes completely unresponsive to keyboard and mouse input.
