Mac: Placing ":D" smiley or sometimes other smiles starting with ":" make the game unresponsive

That's it, placing a smiley or starting with ":" make the game unresponsive. Depending on the situation, I still can move, but the the character may freeze, the camera may freeze, or qwer may not work properly, e.g. if the ability is a pointer to target something, the pointer disappears, still can cast ability but with delay or it fails to cast, again depending on the situation.

I belive the bug is connected with writing ":" in the chat, as the problem occurs only after writing it.

The only solution for the moment is force quit and reconnect.
