[SOLVED] Dwarf Fortress input issues

EDIT: A program called "xbanish", which hides the mouse cursor on keyboard activity was at fault.

This started two days ago. See a list of recently updated packages at the bottom, in case it's relevant.

Dwarf fortress was working just fine, but then it started having issues with keyboard input. When pressing any key at all, even modifiers, that key will get stuck until I unfocus the game window. It seems like the game doesn't receive the key up event, although I have no idea what might be causing this.

I've reinstalled the game, removed all configuration and mods, cleared pacman's cache and downloaded a new package, just in case. Didn't change a thing. Changing printing mode to text, which runs the game in the console, does fix input.
