Assistance: help define a bind bug

[Shenanigunner]

Not sure this belongs in either Bugs or Suggestions, so I put it here.

 

I experience a bug when binding +up to any mouse key. When I do so, as in the attempt to start flying with a jump —

/bind mousechord "autorun 1$$powexectoggleon Fly$$+up"

— the command parser interprets it as ++up or up 1, latching the alt into a continual rise (or, if on the ground, jumping) until I actually press mouse-chord or spacebar (both "up" keys).

 

I am not sure if this is a universal bug, or something keyed to my particular OS, mouse driver, mouse, etc. So I'd like as many players as have a minute to do so to run the following test.

 

First, see if you have mousechord bound to anything:

/showbind mousechord

If it's blank, no problem. If it's not, you might want to write down the bind that's on it, or just save all your binds:

/bindsave

Now add the following bind:

/bind mousechord +up

Now, when you press both right and left mouse keys, your alt will jump or rise. I find this a very useful bind for travel; you can steer and go over obstacles with one hand.

 

So leave it like this a while. In my case, every time I zone, including base transits, the alt either latches into an up 1 mode, rising or jumping nonstop, or jumps every time I press either mouse button. I have to press both mouse buttons or the spacebar to cancel this bug. So play a while, zone a few times and see what happens, and report back here if you would.

 

To clear the bind, either use:

/bind mousechord ""

or restore your bind set with:

/bindload

 

I run a fairly vanilla Windows 10, Logitech trackball setup with SetPoint and the Unifying Software loaded. If you're running the same setup, I'd expect you to see the same odd behavior. If you're running something else, please DO report back. If it's really universal, on all systems, I hope to nudge the Devs into fixing it sooner. If it's just one combination of hardware and drivers... well, it's a common combo and I'd hope the dev team has time to poke at it anyway.

 

Ad(thanks)vance!

Not seeing it here, stripped-down Winders 10¹, no Logitech software.

Good luck, and thanks for /showbind, I had missed that one!

 

¹ By that I mean as many services as possible disabled, only TCP/IP v 4 net protocol running. As many "features" uninstalled as O&O will help me to do. Again, good luck!
