Idle Animations Prevent Moving Any Direction But Forward

[HellKnightX]

This issue has been around for years, and I've finally discovered the cause. If an idle animation is playing (the one that starts after not moving or attacking for 10 seconds), any direction key you press will cause you to walk forward. Push either of the strafe keys, you walk forward. Push the backpedal key, you walk forward.

 

The only way to stop this from happening is to play a different animation, such as jumping, falling, or casting. For a game so focused on precise movement, this is a major glitch that should have been fixed long ago.
