Hotbar Casting Bug?

[bypeep]

<p>For a few months now, I've been experiencing this really strange problem and I can't seem to narrow it down to any one particular cause.  This is what happens:</p><p>I'll be casting off heals and everything's working just fine and then all of a sudden, instead of casting spells, every time I click a hotbar key, it just links it to guild chat.  After this happens, I'm completely disabled.  Well, not completely, if I target myself using the F1 key, I can cast off group heals only.  If I try to target anyone else and click, the button depresses and stays down, nothing casts and I just get an endless string of links in chat.  I have tried hitting escape to clear this and it doesn't work. The ONLY thing that seems to reset this is camping out of the game and coming back in.  However, no sooner do I think I'm back in action when it starts to do this again.</p><p>Does anyone have ANY idea what is causing this? At first I thought it was because I was typing in chat, but last night it started happening half way through a kill when all I was doing was casting heals.  No chatting, nothing.  It's getting really annoying, especially when you see your group dying and there's nothing you can do to help. </p><p>Suggestions? Answers?</p><p>Thanks!</p>
