[SOLVED] Vitetris Keyboard Controls stuck

Using the latest vitetris package (upstream and in-AUR), the game runs beautifully. However, it is convinced that I am constantly pressing either the left or right arrow keys.. I explored customizing the keyboard shortcuts, but I haven't found anything that suggests I could disable the default arrow keys in-favor of vi-like h,j,k,l for instance.

I also have no idea what is causing this, the build runs fine without any errors and I have seen no one else mention this issue before.

Any thoughts on what the problem could be? Is anyone else experiencing this same issue (and, if so, have you found a solution)?

All the best,

-HG

Re: [SOLVED] Vitetris Keyboard Controls stuck

Same thing happens to me, it's like the left arrow is pressed all the time. I hope someone knows how to fix it sad

Re: [SOLVED] Vitetris Keyboard Controls stuck

I really just wish I knew what was causing it. I don't experience this issue with any other game. Ether, can I ask what WM/DE and what terminal you use?

All the best,

I'm using xfce4 with xfwm4, the terminal I think is xfce4-terminal.

Well, that's an entirely separate setup from what I have. And I just tested a couple different terminal emulators on my own setup to see if they would make a difference, and they do not. I wonder, do you use XCompose?

Re: [SOLVED] Vitetris Keyboard Controls stuck

Well, it seems as though, on occasion, the problem doesn't occur. That is, the issue of keyboard input becoming "stuck" is intermittent. However, some issues that I believe may be related (the pause button failing to work correctly, for instance) appear to remain constant.

Is anyone else still having this problem? Has anyone found a solution or workaround?

You need to disable joystick input
