MMouseButton stuck

Nov 12, 2003 Eldrad link
There's one stuck key that I reported a while ago that's never been fixed. That is probably the problem you're having with ctrl+e.

Holding down ctrl and releasing the any key, is not the same as releasing that key without holding down ctrl on OS X (10.3 and 10.2.6-8)

ie. if a is bound to +something, and you hit a and hold it down, then hit and hold ctrl and then finally release a, it does not run -something.

Eldrad, that's just the way things work right now.
Pressing i to zoom in and then pressing Shift and then letting go of i will actually release I and you will be stuck zoomed in.

This technique of getting keys 'stuck' doesn't affect mouse buttons though.
I did notice the mouse button getting 'stuck' in osx though when I was debugging and running the game in window mode. Not sure what's up with that yet. I think it's because of the new thing that allows the window to be moved around. It may be triggering at inopportune times, but Vendetta doesn't have control over that. It's an OSX window manager thing. I don't think that's the cause of the problem though.

Are you kidding me? I get that all the time. It's damned annoying is what it is. about 1/2 the time when I boost and rotate, it gets stuck. I can also get my regular fire button stuck with ctrl+e

For some reason, my middle mouse button is stuck in vendetta. If I fire with it, it will constantly fire until I press the other tertiary fire button, v. the v button doesn't get stuck, but it's annoying to have to reach over there in the middle of a duel. Not much fun at all, especially since I mistakenly get taken for hostile when coming out of a port and it's stuck and I can't tell until it's shot off 5 flares.

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with my Logitech MX310 mouse. I press one of the side buttons and it becomes autofire. Cool? Yes. Annoying? Hell yes! But luckily it can easily be stopped by clicking on the left mouse button, and getting used to not pressing it so damn much.

Same problem. I can't get it to stop firing though (bad if you're about to dock near a bunch of people in a tri-flare valk). =p

Which OS?
Nov 03, 2003 Arolte link
OS X 10.3 Panther. But I had the same problem under OS X 10.2.7 also.

Same deal here.

Sounds like the "sticky rotation" issue from before, which I still get on occasion, BTW.
