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 😞
