ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Key bindings are being activated when they shouldn’t be. Example:

  • By default, in the Cockpit, NUM 0 (Number pad 0) will apply Left Rudder.
  • There is no default key binding for ALT + NUM 0
  • Therefore, pressing ALT + NUM 0 should do nothing…
  • … but pressing ALT + NUM 0 applies Left Rudder, ignoring the ALT key!
  • That is just one example, and the issue results in unintended commands

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes, no add-ons. Generic new install on new PC

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Check default key binding, NUM 0 (notice, no ALT + Num 0 is bound)
  2. In Cockpit View, press NUM 0, and observe Left Rudder, all good.
  3. Now press ALT + NUM 0… nothing should happen, but it also activates Left Rudder.
  4. This is true of multiple keybindings, and results in unexpected behaviour.
