So someone else is expericing this bug! This also happens if you ctrl-v by accident- the gtame loses focus and the video menu comes up and you have to press the cancel button REALLY REALLY QUICKLY to avoid being dc'ed...

Or as I called the bug "Changing focus away from Spring is permanent"

Same here. It even happend when I was host.
Really nasty, pressed 'v' by accident as well. Can that be redirected to a weird key combo so I will never find it again?

Open uikeys.txt to edit key binding to change the video key to something else. f10 is good, and you can still use it if you want.

I havnt experienced this bug. I was talking to people on MSN in a game I jst played. It is possible that i did take less than 5 seconds though.
