Not sure if this is the right place to post this issue, forgive me if it is not. I noticed since the last patch a keyboard issue develop. I am not sure if this is something others are experiencing or if it is just me for some odd reason.
When I use the AWSD keys to move they work fine individually and in space. The ground is a different matter. I can hold the W key to move forward and at the same time press the A key to turn left while still moving forward. But I cannot hold the W key and press the D key to turn right. I have to release the W key and then press the D key to turn the character to the right. Interestingly, if I press the R key to auto move, I can use the A and D keys to turn left or right. This is very odd thing to be happening. It does not seem to be an issue with my keyboard.
Perhaps some of you might have an idea.

I was going to suggest your keyboard might be weird and not accept certain key strokes in a combo.. Some keyboards are known to do this, but if it works in space... Should work on ground.
I don't have this issue..
Go to the options menu and go to "Controls" and "keybinds" and reset both to default, make sure "ground" is selected, apply and click OK. Does that solve it?
Sometimes my game controls or camera turns fishy, and setting the settings back to default fixes it. Even though I never changed anything in them.
I do not need your sarcasm. I was not expecting any reply from a dev about the issue in the time frame. But I would have expected comments from members who might have insight into what the issue is that I might not have considered or thought of. I considered that the majority of members might not check the support forum unless they have an issue of their own. Since I wanted, member feedback, I posted it here. Therefore, I thank you to not make any further assumptions on my expectations. I am ME and you are you. Mind your own expectations and leave others to their own.

With issues like this it's generally better to check your hardware first as more often then not that's the true cause, I'm not saying it cannot be Cryptic's fault, just that it typically won't be. Personally when trying to diagnose the typing issue with foundry (due to a bug you can't type unless you "alt-tab" first in the foundry) I tried switching my keyboard, hell I even re-installed STO to see if that was the cause.
