In older versions you could have the radio menu opened and still be able to strafe and look around with the mouse. This is not possible anymore. Now you are stopped once the menu is opened which is not as confortable so to say, especially because the game is so fast paced and stopping can be somewhat harmful for the gameplay. You can obviously make a bind for certain radio messages but not for all of them, so sometimes you need to open the menu. I think this issue started with the latest update (Added keycatcher for radio UI #3) and I do think it was a good idea to disable other commands while the menu is opened, however
disabling only commands bound to the keys 0-9 would be a better options since it wouldn't limit the movement while having the menu opened given that most players use WASD keys to move. Concerning the mouse movement, I can't figure any reason as to why you shouldn't be able to look around while the menu is opened.
TL;DR: Movement shouldn't be limited while the radio menu is opened as it can have an impact on the gameplay.
