The developers are aware of the issue. It would be reasonable to assume that they are trying their best to fix this until release, since the issue seems to affect Windows users as well.
Can you post links to references of windows users being affected? That being true would possibly make this bug invalid.

There’s also a bug report thread in the Technical Support section of the official forums, but those are currently down (will open again briefly during the stress test tomorrow) and only accessible for pre-purchasers. Still, here is the link for reference: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/stress/bugs/I-can-t-use-chat-game-free...
Either those are all Wine gamers in disguise, or this is an issue at least partially unrelated to Wine. We still do not know if everyone experiences this problem under Wine, or if it affects only part of the userbase.
