Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

To prevent repeating previously attempted troubleshooting, what have you tried to alleviate the problem? Have any changes been made to the device? Also, could you provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

Hi! Thank you for responding!

In terms of troubleshooting I've not made any real progress. It was from button spamming that I found that certain UI interactions lock to numpad only (as mentioned above) and of course disables the mouse too. It has only been occuring since the most recent update (the hotfix one not the new content one).

I will do my best to give system info but I have to redact some of it...

FYI, this happens if you press a number pad key (or a number key) while not having a text input slot active (no blinking curser in it) when in a menu with a text input.
It is activating the targeting/navigating system for controller/keypads where it puts the 'cross hair arrow' mark on intractable items, like the retainer summon bell.
You normally don't see the target arrow due to the open menus in line of sight to the summon bell.
Always 'click' the slot to get a curser before you type to prevent this.
If you get 'stuck' in this mode, just spam ESC to clear out the menus and restore to mouse control.

Good morning and thank you for the reply.

Shori, does this issue happen when a different mouse is being used? Additionally could you try and do a cleanboot? Open the task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

I do not have any alternative mouse. I have been using this mouse for nearly 18 months and is designed to work with FFXIV (it flashed different colours under certain circumstances like flashign red when under attack) so I doubt this mouse is the issue. It doesnt have macro buttons on it or anything like that.

Having said that, the software for it was one of the things disabled in the cleanboot. The cleanboot made no difference.

Update: I can see that whatever is forcing the UI issues is also having an impact on placing houseing items as when picking something up or placing a new item it is stuck in rotating constantly

Update: fixed by unplugging the controller I use for fishing :(
