  This is a frequent problem.

  The only sure fix is to hard exit out of game and try to come back in time.

  Occasionally it will come back on it's own after a couple holes, and occasionally going into settings or something and then back to the game will reset it too.

  I was under the impression that going into the settings during the game was the reason for the chat breaking, but I could be mistaken.

  I think you are right. I have had that happen. I have also had it reverse doing the same thing, but it is a low percentage fix.

  I have had the chat box 'break' (chat icon greys out and become unresponsive) many, many times during multiplayer games, but never because I've gone into Settings (because I practically never do during play).

  In my experience it tends to become unresponsive if I click on it too close to the transition between holes. If I'm trying to sneak one quick comment in after an opponent's putt has won him the hole but before the scorecard comes up and I click it a fraction too late then the chat icon is broken by the time we tee off on the next.

  That said, sometimes it seems to go down spontaneously as well, but 90% of the time it is between holes for me.

  settings before I start a game, if need be.
