Double tapping A, S, or D while walking causes sprinting

Confirmed. This also affects Android touch controls: If you hold forward, you can double tap left or right to start sprinting too.

Confirmed on touch controls - Surface Pro 3 MCWIN10

Confirmed.

Devices:

• Windows 10 Desktop (Keyboard)

• Windows 10 Surface Pro 4 (keyboard + touch)

Game version says 1.2.3 on Windows 10 install.

Reproduce:

• quickly press any two movement keys in rapid succession (W,A,S,D)

• OR be already walking forward (W) and quickly press any other key(s) twice while still having the 'W' key pressed

Result:

• sprinting will start even though not intended

Expected:

• sprinting only starts when the forward (W) key is pressed twice in quick succession.

Confirmed for 1.12 and 1.13.0.2.

Confirmed for 1.13.0.4.

Confirmed for 1.14.0.3.

Confirmed for 1.13.
