Turbo stops working randomly during space combat

[staffingley]

When in combat, I deplete the enemy`s shields and then get in close to shred his hull. Best way to do this is to turbo boost closer then rapidly decelerate. However, I have noticed that it is fairly common for the turbo boost to just stop working. And no, the shield/boost indicator is not reading empty.
But if I press "M" for maps, then "M" to leave maps, the turbo boost option comes back.
Anyone else see this?

Yes I've experienced this too, not just for boost, but also for firing weapons. However, as you say, going into the map (or inventory/properties screens) and out again resolves it.

Same thing here. Additionally scrolling the mousewheel to change speed also stops working. It can also be "fixed" by pressing escape twice to go to the game menu and back. This also pauses the game while doing it.

Same for me - spacebar no longer responds, pressing ESC twice gets it working (for a little while) again.
