Throttles not behaving

[Xiolen]

Recently I've been having issues with the throttles where I go to dab Shift to increase the throttles a touch, and it's like I'm holding the button down. I have to then press X to cancel that off,  which doesn't always work and will only zero the throttle for it to make it's way to maximum again.

This is also the case for RCS, so spacewalks can be an incredibly frustrating affair as you touch the key to move up slightly and your Kerbal takes off into orbit... Or out of orbit.... Or into the ground.

I don't have any controllers connected that would be giving spurious inputs, and I've tried clearing the input locks in the debug menu with no success.

Does the keyboard work properly outside of KSP? Try changing the key binds to use different keys for throttle control e.g. home/end or +/- and see if they have the same problem.

Also check if you have sticky keys enabled, that could cause this type of problem. To find out, press shift 5 times quickly and if there isn’t a prompt to turn it on, it’s probably already on (or you’ve disabled it entirely).

Sticky keys 

No idea how they have suddenly turned on. Not notices on anything else, but then nothing else requires me to tap shift really.

Cheers for the help, I bet I'd have been trying to work that out for weeks.
