Bug Report: Right Shift Key Gets Stuck in Modifier State After Closing ChatFrame
How to reproduce:
- Press Enter to open chat.
- Hold Right Shift (RShift).
- While still holding RShift, press Enter again to close the chat.
What happens:
- WoW client incorrectly maintains the Shift key state as “held”.
- This affects any modifier-based actions (macros, abilities, movement).
- The stuck state only resets when:
- Left Shift is pressed once, or
- Focus changes to another window (Alt+Tab), then back to WoW.
Notes:
- This issue does not occur with Left Shift.
- It persists through
/reload
and cannot be cleared with any in-game script or macro. - It is highly reproducible and specific to Right Shift + ChatFrame interaction.
Environment:
- WoW Classic (Cataclysm Classic)
- Windows 11
Please investigate – this bug has serious impact during PvP or fast-paced communication.
Thanks!
