Hey. I had this problem too. Everytime when I used a crafting table (alchemy, enachanting or whatever) I saw animation started but then it acted like if I pressed a Tab key to exit. I'm using a lot of mods so maybe this was just because of a bad load order or something but I've figured out that if I'll turn the "Immersive Beds" Mod off > then start the game > Save it and exit it > and turn the "Immersive Beds" back on , then it start to work again. I'm not sure how long but so far its ok :) Hope this will help :)
