Pressing Ctrl while zooming forces you to hold Ctrl to zoom manually, otherwise tilts camera

Hi, could we have an update on the fixes regarding this issue? It seems to be a lot more common in some of my games than others (likely because some use CTRL as a legitimate keybind for an action) and it has become somewhat of a large annoyance for my players. Thanks.

Turns out this issue is still live for some of us, just about 2 days ago when I was checking out a game, I had that same bug appear once more. I’m sure many other users that are not a part of this forum are having the same issue as well, so it’d be cool if you could check-in, once more.

The bug is still happening did the fix get delayed or something?

This bug is still an issue, do we have any updates for a possible new patch? As many games that people play on ROBLOX, require the Ctrl key as a keybind. So, this bug really does hinder some user enjoyment of their favorite games that need such a keybind.

It has been an issue for many decades. The development team of ROBLOX is trying hard as they can to fix this bug. It is said that it will be fixed, once David Baszucki ascends into the seventh silver throne of heaven

A decade? Maybe like half a year…ish.


It’s quite annoying for me when there’s plenty of games that require you to press the Left Control button in order to sprint, because nine times out of ten you’ll eventually need to scroll out to check out your surroundings. Oopsie doopsie, now you’re cursed! All of a sudden you have to hold ctrl to scroll out or you have to rejoin the game. Pick your poison.

Why was this even implemented in the first place? I haven’t a clue as to what benefit this could possibly provide to any player other than to hinder someone’s playing experience.

Most likely got added on accident, as this issue only started happening in late 2019. As I am sure if it was intentional, we might have gotten notice of it on a development update patch note. Idrk, whatever it is, I do hope they can fix it soon.

Is the fix for this issue coming out any time soon?

Still having this problem in our game, and Ctrl+Scroll is required for some of our Gui features, but every time a player uses this, their zoom is broken until they rejoin the game.

It can be really disruptive and confusing if they don’t realise they now have to hold Ctrl to perform zooming for the rest of their time in-game.

Have been having the same exact problem in my own game as well. I’m glad to see it’s not just me with the problem.

Any idea how to fix this?

Could you send me a screenshot of the children in the playermodule script?

The error comes inconsistently, by the way.

Is there any solution to this issue? this post nearly has 12k views and this is an old bug but Roblox still doesn’t fix it. I can’t play cause of this happening every time after like 1-5 minutes for any game.

Very frustrating considering ctrl is a keybind for something in a game I play. We need a fix

Can we get an update on this fix? This is still a prominent bug in hundreds of Roblox games.

Also, I am not able to reproduce this with control alone, however, I can reproduce this with Shift, Alt+Control, Alt+Shift, and Alt+Control+Shift iirc. I do not have a logitech mouse, and my mouse does not support horizontal scrolling.

Once the bug is activated it is not possible to deactivate it without resetting. I am able to reproduce this with some combination of modifier keys + scrolling on every single PC/laptop/etc in my home and have tested on over 6 mice brands.

I would also like to note I am on a desktop computer.

Hey, it seems this is still a bug, or has came back just recently. I just tried it in multiple games, and it’s an annoying bug, because you can’t revert this behavior any way without restarting the client. It also seems to carry this behavior over teleports.
