[BUG] 1.5 Random loss of control. Cause - Shift button stucks.

[SpaceLevi]

There is some reports of bug when people lose control of the ship, I also have that and was able to figure out that the "shift" button cause it, because sometimes game start to think that the button was pushed but not released, and moreover, you don't even need to press it! In my tests I was go afk for around 5 minutes and when I back, shift was "pressed" You can check that it's indeed the "shift" in the "Property Owned" menu, when you lose control, just click at your ships or stations there and you will see that they are grouped as if you squeezed shift.

Happens only in X4, so it has nothing to do with keyboard itself.

edit:

Well I checked my game my control lost is not the shift button issues. just after flying around attacking things it just stops taking input from the speed control on the mouse and tab button. then I have to hit the esc button to clear it up. Not sure what is the cause of it here.

Have you tried to press shift instead? Because it's exactly the same symptoms as I have. There is possibility that it was not a shift for you but another "button" maybe have something to do with control scheme.
