Status: Not a bug

This is not a bug. It may be an incorrect use of syntax or a limitation in the software. For further discussion on the matter, please consult the BYOND forums.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

If you keep holding two or more directional keys while using BYOND's new built-in Pixel Movement, the mob will spin around like crazy. I found about this today. I was testing my game and I accidentally, held two keys and the mob spun. Tried it again and worked. I'm not sure if it is a BYOND bug but I just wanted to make sure if it is or not.

Steps to Reproduce Problem:

Hold two or more than two directional keys.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
N/A

Expected Results:

It should either move in just one direction or not spin like that.

Actual Results:

The mob spins around.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Everytime.
In other games? Yes.
In other user accounts? Yes.
On other computers? Not sure.

When does the problem NOT occur?

When the world.fps var is less than 25.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked?
It didn't occurred in 1104. Not sure about earlier versions.
As stated in the release notes, the ability to hold down more than one key does not equate to combining directions. Therefore you are constantly changing direction when holding down two movement keys.
