    Reproducibility: seemingly random
    Severity: game ruining

    Description:

    This has been an on and off issue the entirety I've played empyrion. I've solved it in the past but I can't remember how, and I'm surprised to see it still an issue.

    Summary:
    -Escape key won't exit menus, even though it opens them just fine.
    -Warp targets can't be selected without significant effort
    -Cursor stutters
    -The game behaves like this for seemingly random durations at seemingly random times.

    Description:
    Escape key won't work very well when exiting menus. It has to be spammed, and during this the cursor stutters. It works fine when opening menus.
    While this is occurring, it is nearly impossible to click on warp targets in the system/galaxy map. same cursor stuttering.
    The game seems to enter this phase of unplayability at random, which can last anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour. I have found absolutely nothing consistent that triggers it or gets rid of it.
    This doesn't appear to be a problem with controls settings.
    I do a lot of ship building in creative mode when I am not playing survival mode.
    This happens both when playing survival mode on private and public servers. Switching between maintains the same state of problem.
    Restarting the game/PC does nothing.
    No other applications on my computer are ever effected or acting strange while this is happening in empyrion.

    This is game ruining as it often takes 1-2 minutes to select a warp target while this is happening, and it can be very frustrating navigating menus. I've quit playing in the past over this issue. Which by the way was on a completely different PC. Not sure what the issue is, the only thing I can think of that I do differently from other people that play the game is I use creative mode fairly frequently to build ships.
