Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play latest Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft with mouse and keyboard with default controls
2. Try "strafe sprinting" or sprinting diagonally by holding a or d first, then w
(obviously hold the sprint key when doing this)
Observed Results:
Cannot strafe sprint if the a or d key has been held before holding w
Expected Results:
Player should strafe sprint the same way as if w is held before a or d

Still present in 1.19.10. You cannot initiate a sprint while holding a/d at all, regardless of if you strafe first or go forward first. You can however initiate a sprint while moving only forward and then strafe while sprinting.
This is probably one of the biggest RIPs in the game now. It was very necessary to fix the a and d issue, but during the bug fix, this also caused the patching of the backwards sprint glitch, a very powerful sprint setup that can sprint backwards to look stylish. RIP Backwards Sprint 😞
Still present in 1.18.2
