Keyboard frequently stops functioning (in game only), especially after dying

[ph4yd]

Occasionally after dying (maybe once per game), my keyboard will stop registering inputs in game. It happens especially around dying, and I think could be related to use of the buy menu? I also notice that sometimes my keyboard stops registering while I'm using the buy menu, and I have to exit (with ESC) and reopen the buy menu for it to work again. I notice because "B" won't close the menu and it will stay open, but if I press ESC to close and B to open, it will start registering again.

This has been happening for at least several weeks, I think mostly since the major 6 heroes patch. It's quite annoying to spawn in and need to get to a teamfight or objective quickly and not be able to move. I usually ask a friend or teammate to pause.

The fix seems to be some combination of time/randomness/alt+tabbing. If I alt+tab in and out of the game a few times, usually it will start registering again. But it wastes usually 10-15 seconds and is very frustrating. Please look into these keyboard input issues! It does seem related to the buy menu in some way.

This happens if I change keyboard layouts from English to another language I speak. Is it perhaps related to that?

Happens to me, too. Not too often, but 1 in 20 games? I have to restart the game everytime. Doesn't happen anywhere else. I don't change language layouts

Also seconding / n-th'ing having experienced this from time to time similar or perhaps even exact same scenarios
(the ones on the first post ones, that is).
And the workaround / restoration-method has been the ESC-menu spamming until control has been regained.

If this is somehow related to keyboard-layouts, I'll mention mine just in case:

I also encountered this problem. Sometimes the store (b) key doesn't work in the game, and only pressing it multiple times helps. Now, in almost every game, during a fight, if I want to climb or jump, the spacebar doesn't work. Pressing it multiple times also helps. And only once did the WASD keys not work. Usually this problem lasts for a few seconds, and then everything is fine, but it's annoying.
