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.
Game version says 1.2.3 on Windows 10 install.

Confirmed on Windows 10. Obviously, an accidental double-tap of the W key will cause sprinting to start, but you can't sprint sideways or backwards so double-tapping A, D, or S should not cause sprinting.
On the other hand, it is possible to sprint while moving diagonally forward. However, there's an inconsistency in how this works. To sprint forward, you can double-tap W without releasing the key after the second tap. But if you're holding down W and double-tap A or D without releasing, you move diagonally without sprinting. To sprint diagonally you must tap the A or D key a third time, holding it down.
The S key works a little differently. Pressing W and S at the same time stops movement (as expected). As with A and D, double-tapping S while holding W starts you sprinting while double-tapping and holding works the same as simply pressing both at the same time. But triple-tapping and holding also stops you moving, which isn't surprising since you obviously can't sprint forward and backward at the same time.
