This is the kind of slippery problem I would never think about but would make me want to break my keyboard if I encountered in real life.

Unless they've fixed this in the last few years, switching your input mode like that while World of Warcraft is running will cause some kind of crash that prevents you from using the in-game chat. This felt especially egregious because switching input modes is the kind of thing you want to do all the time if you're using the in-game chat.
I am very lucky that Win+spacebar switches, so it's low drama to execute, just some drama to remember. Insult to injury, and likely very related to the article's points: if I remember after launching the game, Win+spacebar is 50/50 on whether the game notices and thus I usually just pay the startup cost again if I forget rather than having things be in limbo
