| Summary | 0003475: After using shift+tab to reveal the Steam overlay the shift key remains held down after returning to the game. | ||||
| Description | Shift+tab is used to bring up the Steam overlay when playing a game. After returning to the game everything seems normal, but when the screen is scrolled or another action is performed the "Left shift" notifier appears on the screen and even without holding down the key the controls perform as if the shift key were held down. I say left shift above, but this applies to both shift keys. Upon further testing, it seems irrelevant which shift key is used to open the overlay, but the shift key that is held down to shift+tab back to the game acts as if held down in the game. eg. Open overview by left shift+tab then close overlay with right shift+tab and right shift acts as if held down in the game, and vice versa. If the same shift key is used to open/close the overlay then this shift key will act as if held down in the game. The issue can be resolved by hitting either shift key. I've rated this as minor since there is a simple workaround, but it is annoying to accidentally shift+middle mouse to scroll the view a long distance. I have often had to right click one of the ship icons to the right of the screen to recentre the view as the planet was impossible to find by dragging the screen using middle mouse. It appears that the shift key "released" event might be interpreted as a shift key "pressed" event by the game. The offending shift key is pressed in the overlay (so is likely not registered by the game) and then released in the game so perhaps the game only sees the "released" event? Great game, btw. ;) | ||||
