Key locking in Game and Studio on Mac

Recently, somethign wierd started happening in Studio and in any and all Roblox Games on my iMac. If I hold a key on the keyboard, even for 3 seconds, 1/3 of the time, it locks. If I leave the key, the game or studio still continues to act as if I’m holding it down. At first I thought it was a keyboard or a computer issue, but this is not the case, as it still happens with other keyboards (and roblox acts as if the key is still held down even after unplugging the keyboard!), and doesn’t happen in any other apps/games. This started a couple or few weeks ago, and is preventing me from doing my stuff in studio and is heavily affecting my gameplay.

Also:

The only way I can get out of this is by pressing the key that is being held, and it would de-hold. A lot of pain…

Also will confirm. When building it even if I let go of CTRL it keeps selecting parts and objects… very annoying.

This actually seems like it could be pretty useful for building if it provided adequate feedback that it was doing it, and if it had a toggle to turn the feature off. There are times I want to perma-press ctrl to multi-select a whole bunch of parts.

Yep, creating stuff is getting really annoying with these keys locking.

Very! You have to scramble to tap that key back so it doesn’t ruin something. I’ve had it delete multiple things, and then not know what was going on, then not able to undo. It gets very frustrating and makes working in studio a pain. I hope Roblox finds the solution to this soon…

Same, this has been happening periodically over the past couple of days. I’m using Windows10.

What MacOS are you all using?

macOS High Sierra version 10.13

Wait…this is happening on Windows too? Are you based off of windows or MacOS? and please answer nsgriff’s question.

I have an iMac with dual boot. It happens with both operating systems.

I’m running Windows 10, today though it seems like the issue has resolved for me? Been in studio for an hour building and haven’t had the issue yet.

@RyanSch02 Are you running MacOS High Sierra 10.13?

If anyone can confirm how to reproduce it on Windows 10 that would be great. We are trying to get a hold of a device with MacOS High Sierra as there seems to be multiple issues with Studio on it.

Im running windows 10.

I am on Mac OS

Windows 10

Apparently this is happening when you have an object selected. Control keys also lock. I private messaged you a video of it happening through discord.

@nsgriff Any update on this. The problem has become more frequent when playing, I have noticed it in Phantom Forces and Jailbreak. Doing stuff on both Roblox and Roblox Studio has become a real pain.
