ESC button triggers "quit game?" dialog on every press
Sometimes, the game seems to register the "quit game?" dialog for ESC button press on every press, regardless of context.
Steps to reproduce approximately:
- Have game run as "Fullscreen"
- Alt+Tab out of and back into the game a couple of times
- Behaviour now active:
What happens then?
- i press ESC to get into Pause menu; in addition to the pause menu, the quit dialog appears. (Screenshot 1)
- i cancel it with mouse
- i press ESC to close pause menu; in addition the quit dialog appears (Screenshot 2)
Sometimes, after a lot of entering and leaving Intevtory with `i`, the behaviours goes away, but only a restart surely helps

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If yes, then what is the repro rate (how many times did it happen over the course of how many playthroughs)?

Hi! It happens to me too, pretty often. It is still on the latest version. For me though, it too glitches the cursor. when I hold somewhere, cursor disappears until I unhold the left mouse button. During time that it is invisible, I can't move the cursor in any way.
This happens for me aswell
Additional information is required:
1) In what circumstances do you use Alt+Tab? Are you doing this in the Camp, during a mission, or in some other situation? Does it always occur regardless of the player character's location?
2) What screen resolution are you playing on?
3) Are you playing on Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7?
4) Is just pressing Alt+Tab repeatedly enough to trigger the issue?
5) Is the Pause Menu, the Inventory, or any other menu open when using Alt+Tab?
6) Are any other windows opened when playing the game?
7) Are there any other details you can think of that could help in reproducing the issue?

Hello! I'll type it from my view so it musn't be 100% correct. A little has changed for me from then, but I can say, that it happens only in fullscreen, and it can happen whenever. It didn't work for me with alt+tab, it just happened a few minutes I after I started the game. When I restarted the game, it dissapeared and didn't come back. I have mcd launcher on windows 10. When I played the game, there were opened windows, approximately 5. My screen resoultion is 1680x1050.
Is this still an issue in the latest version?
