**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened**  
I was expecting the game to continue to function. Instead, it froze.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
This happened by accident once, and replicated immediately every time I have done it since.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
I press F12 (my key bind for Steam screenshots) and the game immediately freezes. This happens on the map screen and in battle. We actually lost a Pet Gnome to this. (I was up against a clan mate in Arena, so I took a screenshot - sadly after I killed the pet gnome, so no proof - and afterwards I tested in normal PvP and on the map screen.)
