I cannot be the only person getting this shit
you open the chat box but it fucking breaks or whatever and you cant type anything
you cant close it either, so none of your keyboard inputs do anything
you can use mouse inputs though, so you can just stand still and +attack from a pivot
alt+f4 doesnt even fucking work so you have to alt tab and close the game
how do i fix this shit

you can't fix it as far as I've tried but it only happens when the item servers are down. If that's the case just don't type if possible

Phantomit only happens when the item servers are down

Ive been losing connection to the item servers every 10-15 minutes for the past 3 weeks so Im not always aware of when Im not connected
Ill probably just unbind my chat buttons for now lmao

if you bind something to retry and you click it the chat box will disappear after you rejoin

I don't know what causes this.
The only thing that worked for me is hitting my "hud_reloadscheme" bind. You can continue playing but don't press your chat button because it will get stuck again. However you can also choose to rejoin and it won't get stuck again.

if i remember correctly, this is caused by the info box that appears in your inventory screen when item servers are down. if you don't click the "OK" button after opening your loadout menu it fucks your chat box. not sure why that would be the case but thats what ive observed. all i can say is to remember to close that info box every time it pops up which is unfortunately not the greatest solution

Sorry for being that guy but maybe instead of typing in chat you use the "say" command in console to communicate.

I don't know if it's an actual fix, but I remember using my spectator key because I smashed my keyboard trying to fix it and it somehow unstucked itself. Hope it helps
