This could happen in multiple situations but, i created a new player and saved, started to type the name for the profile and wanted a capital 'S', so used shift+S which brought up the settings menu in front of the menu used for saving a new profile while i was typing. 

Yeah this happened to me too. I didn't bother submitting a bug request or anything because it's pretty easy to work around — just turn on caps lock to type "S" rather than using shift — but I guess it still might be worth getting fixed at some point once the more gamebreaking bugs are dealt with. (I guess it's not technically a bug, because it is meant to do that, but it can definitely be a little annoying.)
