What happened?

I'm surprised to not see this mentioned here, but there is a major bug with input since the hotfix.
I know I'm not alone on the issue, I've seen a few streamers complain about their keys being stuck while playing.

Randomly an input gets stuck and is held until the player presses that same input again.
Resulting in the player auto running.

Reproduction steps

play 10 mins, it'll happen... A lot!

in 11 hours today.... I had 63 times the bug occured....
This bug has many of us wanting to flip our desks often.

it almost got me killed many times, many of those was while fighting zombies or players..
It's always fun thinking you're taping to inch a corner, then full blown just walk right out in front of them...

Also noticed the bug was locking other buttons too (Shift, eye zoom on my mouse)... almost like it was capturing Double tap to toggle.

Someone has mentioned they fixed their issue by deleting their keybinds profile.
I'm attaching my keybind profile.

Friend reported back, they still got the bug after deleting their profile, but a lot less often.
I'll try deleting my exp folder and setup my keybind changes.

I know a lot of players would set their files to read only years ago when servers forced lowered the view distance for performance and they would have to change it back when they joined another server afterwards.
