#bug - F9 can't be used as an ability keybind

I use F9 for my secondary abilities (E by default), and there is currently a bug that mostly prevents use of that key. When F9 is assigned, I am able to queue the ability just once. After that, whether I cancel or use it, it never works again. Pressing the F9 key gives no response from the game, it's as if the key is broken.

If I go into my hotkeys and assign it to any other key, then return it to F9, that allows me to use the ability one more time. After that, it breaks again. F9 becomes unresponsive and I can no longer use the ability.

It's worth noting that while I'm navigating the menus assigning keybinds, the game recognizes my input of the F9 key every time. I have also tested my mouse in other programs, and I can confirm that the F9 keybind is working as normal. This issue only happens when playing a Pred match. I can replicate the issue in an AI match at level 1 by unlocking the secondary ability first and assigning it to F9, so it's been pretty easy to test.

When I bind other keys to the ability, it seems to work fine. I can't be 100% sure, but based on my troubleshooting this appears to be a problem with using the F9 key specifically. The F9 key has no apparent use in Pred by default and I have been using this key for my secondary ability for years, so I'm not sure what changed.

how does one reach F9 while playing?
