ContextActionService buttons act as Escape button

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

  1. Insert a LocalScript in a runnable folder and type the following code:
game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction("Test",function()
	print("hi")
end,false,Enum.KeyCode.W)

The above code works with tested main buttons (ButtonB, ButtonR2, ButtonA, S, etc.).

  1. Press the “Escape” button and check the output.

It does appear that not all buttons get triggered, such as E or O, even though one is unbound, and the other one is Core-bounded.

Expected Behavior

The button in the parameter should not act as Escape.

Actual Behavior

The button typed in the parameter acts as triggered upon pressing Escape.

Not a bug, you need to use the parameters passed to your action callback:

Closing this thread as it seems this is working as intended, indeed!
