[0.18.8.0] Joining a Plaza game via the popup prompt while fishing will put you in a frozen state with no controls

While I was fishing, the Plane Wars minigame started. I decided to join it through the popup prompt. While I was able to play the minigame fine (most likely because a majority of inputs are tied to Plane Wars), as soon as the minigame was over, my inputs were messed up. I was not able to rotate around at all with the mouse, and I wasn’t able to move with WASD or anything. Couldn’t select through my equipment either. I had to reconnect to the plaza to fix the softlock.

I would assume this softlock will trigger if you join other games like another minigame, or other plaza games like Typing Derby, just judging by how it works.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go fish. Preferably when a minigame is about to start.
  2. While your bobber is in the water, join a Plaza game that pops up via prompt.
  3. Become frozen.

What I expected to happen

Controls should be given back after cancelling fishing for any reason.

The issue the bug caused.


Notes / Media

sadly I don’t got any pics to back this up this time.
