Dual Monitor Issues: Some times I can't stop strafing

[Design]

It appears that when you have a dual monitor setup and you are in the process of auto running, if you click to your other monitor (When the game is in Fullscreen Windowed Mode), some times the strafe key becomes stuck (A for me).

Not really sure how to fix this. It "unsticks" by me mashing my keys randomly at multiple times.

Greetings Design,

While this does sound like a bug, it could be any number of things. I do have a question. If you are auto-running forward ( opposed to strafing with the A key ), are you saying that when you click back into the game the A key becomes pressed and remains pressed?

Suggestions that I would provide would be:

- Alt tab out and then back in
- Unplug your keyboard and plug it back in
- Use another keyboard to test whether the problem is hardware related
- Try disabling windowed mode. If the problem resolves itself, then we will have a better understanding of what is going on.

Thanks!

This is actually common with many applications where multimonitor is used especially when they support accepting input while not the current active window.

This problem is an OS-level issue.

When you are holding a key in one window and change windows, the KEYUP message is never received by the original window, so it doesn't know you stop pressing the key.

If this problem occurs, simply activate the game and press and release the key which is "stuck"

The solution is to release the key before switching windows.
