[7.60] [Bug] Pressing Shift several times willl open the ESC Menu, losing changes to stations

Post by jimmybobkins »

Game Version 7.6 English
Modded State: Vanilla
Gamestart: Spear of the Patriarch
Nature of the problem: see below
Possibly relevant: Save started with just split vendetta enabled, later added all the others minus kingdom end
Steps to reproduce: Press shift a few times

I don't know if this is some kind of feature, or how or why this is a thing to begin with, but it definitely exhibits undesirable behavior when I am working on building stations - I often hold shift to turn modules 15 degrees for alignment, and frequently when doing this and placing multiple modules, I get forced out of the station building menu into the esc menu, and lose all changes. Holding shift also triggers this, which is annoying when switching ship modes, or selecting multiple ships on the map.

not tech support here, but just a thought - aren't you accidentally triggering Window's Sticky Keys [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys] feature?
By default the feature is enabled by pressing Shift five times. It often conflicts with various games and minimizes or downright crashes them.
