If you press the LEFT ARROW key and press the RIGHT ARROW key, the right will react preferentially. Conversely, if you press the RIGHT ARROW key and then press the LEFT ARROW key, the left will not be the priority but the right will still be the priority.

Devloper HATE LEFT?(?)

(This bug(?) is real)

Plz stop the left disgust!

It appears to be. In notepad the last key to be pressed takes precedence. In KSP the right seems to take precedence regardless. Wow... I've spent more than 2 minutes on this nonsense and I actually should care less than I do.

I get the opposite behavior (right is preferred) in Surviving Mars.

The degree to which I do not care about this "bug", though, cannot be overstated.

This is often a limitation of cheaper keyboards, that they are unable to properly respond to arbitrary combinations of keypresses. The ability to properly respond is known as "rollover" and better keyboards usually support n-key rollover meaning they can handle any combination of keypresses.

There's nothing a game, or even Windows (or OSX or Linux) itself, can do about a keyboard that doesn't support good rollover.

That was my first guess too, but I tested it in notepad. Behavior is different in the game than in notepad.

This likely has more to do with your keyboard  (and N-key support) than with developers.

 

Could also be a simple 'order-of-checking' thing in code;

if 'left' do X
else if 'right' do Y

Would need to be restructured such as:
if 'left + right' do Z
else if 'left' do X
else if 'right' do Y

Why are you going to press both buttons at the same time?

Happens regularly to me, especially during docking. For example, I'll want to roll CCW and yaw right, but I'll missing the key and go for rolling CCW and CW at the same time. Fortunately the probe cores don't logic bomb, and my kerbal pilots are smart enough to ignore such a silly request.
