So I was playing a 2v2 match, and towards the end of the game right b4 the big battle all of a sudden I couldn't control my units, they were on like 10+ que paths and all my buildings rally points were going crazy too.........and I couldn't press enter to send msgs.

Has anyone had this experience? Or know whats causing it? I've uploaded the replay, fast forward to the end b4 the big battle in the centre, u'll see I first attack my own bunker then all these green lines and stuff pop up and I basically didn't even attack with anything........

Feedback is welcome, here's the replay, I'm purple
because if this is a hack or a major bug I would like blizzard to know

Sometimes shift will mess up and everything will turn into a shift-queue command. It's really annoying when it happens > <

Oh, and the other fun bug is when the game won't register anything you do on the keyboard. As far as I know, opening/closing the friends list on the left will fix it, but the first time it happened I was alt tabbing like crazy thing it would fix itself.

Yes, I don't know what causes this but it's basically your shift key getting "stuck", even though it's not actually physically stuck.

I have no idea why it happens but it's happened a reasonable amount of times for me.

Pretty sure it's an ingame bug and not a keyboard error.

Also, in the future, don't make all caps thread titles plz!

Yeah, I've had this bug too. Pretty sure the key was not in fact stuck, but it acted like it.

If my P teammate drops, I can no longer produce anything but pylons and nexii from his base. No pylon power new or old works. Even if we're double P, too.

i haven't had this problem, but has anyone else had a problem when you hold shift to group stray units / units popping out and grouping them with your hotkeyed units and it won't register? i end up ctrl + hotkeying them and i only end up with 3-4 units in one hotkey instead of what i had before + those units that just came out?

Does this have something to do with Windows? When you hold the shift key for over 5sec you enter ?Sticky keys? (translated). Just a thought...

Try alt-tabbing.

I haven't had this shift bug before O_o It's my first time hearing about it.

Yes.

In a 2v2. Me and TLO won anyway, despite me playing mouse only - thank god it was a small map lol. Zealo/sentry pretty easy to micro but using chrono boost becomes a pain, and same with using warp gates.

Only key working was shift, I couldn't make control groups lol

I've had this happen; in order to stop it chat to one of your friends from the friends-console-pupup and then you'll be able to use your keyboard again.

Anyone find a solution for this in the meantime? I actually bought a new keyboard because i thought my shift key was physically stuck. Unfortunately, the same problem still keeps occuring every so often and it is really frustrating losing a good 10 seconds of mining time because of this problem.
