This is a somewhat complex issue that only started occurring after the patch on 2 May 2023. To start I currently use a glorious Model D wired gaming mouse and previously used Razer Death Adder.
I use double mouse click for all movement (no other keybinds). I use middle mouse (clicking in the scroll wheel) to toggle auto run. I use the two buttons where my thumb rests (mouse button 4/5) for strafe left and strafe right. This has never been an issue ever before on either of the mouse’s I use to play. Here is the issue that started occuring:
When I am strafing left OR right AND then click any other mouse button (left, right, middle, button 4/5) my character gets stuck in an auto strafe (left or right depending on which one I was going) and I can only stop the strafe by clicking whichever button direction I am strafing.
Example: I hold Mouse button 4 and start strafing left, I then left click my mouse, my character will now be stuck auto strafing left UNTIL I click mouse button 4 again to stop the strafe.
Interesting notes, If I am holding any other mouse button prior to hitting a strafe button, it does not lock my character into a strafe. It only occurs when I am pressing my strafe button first. Also of note, it happens on both the Glorious model D gaming mouse and my razer death adder.
Troubleshooting:
I’ve updated drivers/firmware
I’ve tried unbinding and rebinding keys
I’ve disabled all addons/weakauras
I’ve unplugged the mouse and plugged it into 4 different USB ports
I’ve disabled the mouse buttons functions and re-enabled them.
I believe this is an unfortunate side effect of the new patch and hope it can be looked into.
This was an issue that I tried to submit as a bug on the PTR before the patch even went live.
My movement keybinds are similar to yours and I am having the same issues with auto strafe/run being triggered. I hold left+right mouse buttons down to move forward then I strafe with the 2 buttons on the side of my mouse. Trying to strafe triggers the autorun/strafe even when I have auto run completely unbound.
Have tried-
Reset all keybinds to defaults then setting them back up again.
Bought a new mouse.
Updated all drivers.
Disabled all addons.
Really hoping can get some sort of dev communication or fix to this soon or I will have to completely redo all the keybinds that I have used since MoP.
I heard that if you skip the initial cutscene it bugs out the entire game. I had to reset my ui positions and my minimap is in the center of my screen still, which I can not move. I am unable to interact with anything by clicking. I went to open my vault and I wasn’t able to click on the wall or speak with the npc besides it. I went to talk with someone who had a mission and I was still unable to interact with them via clicking.
same here, can’t click mailbox, bags, or target and interract with npcs. cant move minimap in edit mode.don’t recall if i canceled the opening cut scene or not. getting lot of LUA errors all mentioning wow interface, not any addon.
I am having the exact same issue as OP and thought I was going insane, I also have mouse button 4 and 5 set to strafe left and right. Click either MB 4 or 5 at the same time as right mouse button, it proceeds to auto run in a strafe. No idea if this is something that I can disable or not, but its rather annoying. Only seems to happen in WoW so I am pretty sure its within the game.
Hello all, I’m experiencing the same mouse movement issue since 10.1. I used to be able to key bind the “move & steer” with the left and right clicks, but it is missing now. I’m unable to steer or pitch a dragon flight or click a target I went into the keybindings and tried to manually set the move & steer, but it didn’t recognize my mouse clicks. I tried a different mouse and rebooting etc, and same problem. I feel dead in the water and hope this is resolved soon.
Same. Having trouble with auto-run and such. I use two mouse-buttons (right click and button 5) to walk backwards and steer. If I walk backwards, my auto-run converts to auto-run backwards, and attempting forward while auto-run is toggled stops the character, which then begins moving backward again after I stop trying to run forward. If I de-toggle auto-run, and then run forward, auto-run reverts to forward movement.
Seems like Auto-run direction is picking up a default direction, and isn’t cancelling on manual input.
This has happened for a while while you were trying to move while placing a targeted ability like sigil, but it wasnt a huge issue. But its been happening a LOT since today. Need fix. Nothing better than having your character start auto walking backwards and having to alt/tab twice to fix it mid pull on Mythic Raz.
Also having weird snapping of my cursor when using mouse abilities.
