Typing in message window during cut scenes with questions (PS3)

[Andycapped]

There is no way to get it out of this state, i tried everything. User has to quit the game.
Tab does not work. The only thing you can type in the chat window is text form your keyboard and the "tab" key for the universal translator.
You however cannot transmit the message, the send function is not working in this state.

Tab does not work.

NOT the TAB - Select! I'm pretty sure it does work as that's the key to "tab" / change between the windows and as far as I know works everywhere. I've had the same situation - during the intial "travel" to the home city I've pressed enter and starter to type in the chat box and when the dialog box came up asking me about why I go there I've used select to get to the dialog box and to answer (you might need to press circle or ESC once or twice first to "unfocus" the actual typing box in the chat) but it definitelly works as I've done several times since in various cut scenes and such. Alternativelly you can also use either normal USB mouse or the virtual one (press L1+R3 to activate / deactivate virtual mouse, then use R stick to move and L2 + R2 as left / right mouse keys).
