Anybody had this happen, and if so what did you do? Is the character recoverable? I haven't tried restarting the game yet. Afraid I'll screw something up and lose the character I was playing.

Was just dropping some stuff and trying to use the filter buttons on my keyboard to select a category when it happened. I selected the option to keep playing but the screen was all black with just the flashing cursor - so tried to hit shift-S and Y in case that went through.
