Game stuck on shield-balancing prompt in mission

Product: Star Wars: Squadrons
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? BarAgent2
Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Other
Please explain 'Other' Mission to hijack ISD Victorum
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. We had just taken out the ISD’s targeting and I was pulling away. I rebalanced my deflectors to rear just before the game prompted me to do so. The game paused to show me the prompt. It won’t unpause. I am able to change the shield balance, but it won’t unpause and continue. The controller’s select button isn’t working either, so I can’t go back to the last checkpoint in the mission.
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. Just off the ISD Victorum, in a game-prompt pause screen.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 02.10.20 15:30
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
How severe is your issue? Can't play
What happens when the bug occurs? The game stays locked on this pause screen. I can try to do what the game wants me to do, but it doesn’t continue.
What do you expect to see? I expected the prompt to either not appear since my shields were already balanced, or for it to appear and immediately disappear as my balancing took effect.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." X-Wing
What components were you using? Assigned by mission
Which customizations (if any) were you using? I was using combo rebalancing, where you double-tap to balance front and hold to balance equally.

    @BarAgent2 I have the same bug
    The game freezes when it asks to balance the shields.
    The key is however configured, and I see the result of the choices appear on the screen, on the shield indicator.
    But yet the game does not revive.

    I use the keyboard, and an old Logitech Attack 3
    The key is configured on the keyboard, by default with the 'C' key

    @BarAgent2 I also have this issue with an X55 HOTAS.
    My issue manifests in Mission 2 - Yavin.
    Immediately after destroying the Targeting System the game pauses and expects me to balance shields.

    I do so (bound to a joystick control) but the game does not resume.
    Story missions are unplayable until this is fixed.

    Same issue here with a Logitech X52. Tried the Keyboard short cut and the Joystick short cut.  Shields change, but game halts and I have to alt-f4 to exit.
