Bug: Unable to move mouse after exiting from F8 feedback screen when viewing Cyclops camera feeds

I tried to submit via the Trello BugReport page but it gives me "you don't have permission" messages. Also, wth is a 'changeset'? I googled every combination of 'trello' and 'changeset' but it doesn't look like a trello term.

Since this is 'soft crash' I would consider this a high priority bug.

After exiting the Feedback screen while in Cyclops camera mode, the mouse will not move but the LMB can be clicked to re-enter camera mode. If you re-exit the camera mode, you are still stuck in driving mode and cannot use the Esc key to access the menu or exit driving mode.

Reproduction steps:
1) Enter Cyclops Navigation/Driving mode
2) Click camera icon in bottom left and enter camera view
3) Press F8 for feedback. Submit feedback or exit from feedback without submitting (esc key or X icon)
4) Upon pressing F8 key initially, the camera view will exit and you return to Cyclops Driving mode (visible through transparent Feedback screen). After exiting Feedback, you are in Driving mode but mouse does not move. Clicking the LMB causes the horn to sound and you will re-enter camera mode (mouse is still on camera icon). You can control camera mode normally but when you exit and return to driving mode the mouse is stuck and the Esc menu will not appear. You cannot continue any further with the game and must use Alt+F4 or force quit the application.

    Bumping this because it is still an issue.

    1. Drive Cyclops
    2. Shift to Camera view
    3. Notice Bug (such as seeing your lockers in a seabase)
    4. press F8

    Mine differs here
    5. Can submit feedback
    6. after submitting you are kicked out of driving the cyclops but the HUD still assumes are driving the cyclops. Cannot even access console commands to reset character. This includes teleport and kill commands

    Any ideas would be appreciated on player fixes otherwise this is a dev thing.

    This is how it is for me, and has been since ... forever as far as I know. Already F8 reported it multiple times.

    Same thing happened to me yesterday, lost many hours of progress but luckily everything I lost was easily recovered with console and I didn't have to rebuild anything. And now I'm stuck in the scanner room camera feed with it trying to connect to a camera, about to lose a bunch of progress once again, including the scanner room I just built...

    In case stuff like this happens, they should make it so escape always, ALWAYS returns you to first person or open the menu so you can save and exit. There should be no reason for any interface to remove your ability to save and quit, That's just bad practice in game development.
