Linux client chat fills with "w" or other movement character when trying to communicate after moving in game

Recommended Posts

I'm using the Linux client, running Ubuntu 22.04, and my chat and any menu search bars or text entry bars (e.g. storage transfer amount) fills with "w" (or any other key used for movement, such as ''a', 's', 'd', ect.) after I've been moving forward in game. The text box or chat continues to fill with the character associated with the key that was depressed for any significant time, e.g. "w" for forward movement, for many minutes after I've stopped pressing that key, making chat or most menu text entry completely impossible. For instance, after moving foward, the text boxes in game are filled with "w" and deleting the "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" just results in more w's filling the text entry. My keyboard key is not sticking, and this does not happen when using any other program on my machine. This seems to be related to how key press events are buffered in the game software.

Hi Stoney,  I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this?
