Grappling hook breaks if no new key is pressed while it is midair (new since 8.2) - reth - 05-13-2017
Hey
Currently I have following problem with the off-hand grappling hook, it is best explained with following timeline:
- start pressing "e" (and keep holding it for the whole duration of this timeline, without any other inputs)
- hook flies correctly to target wall
- hook pulls me in for a fraction of a second
- hook cancels and immediately starts recasting hook
- the hook now cancels and recasts untold times per second, never moving more than arms length
The interesting thing is that if you start pressing a new movement key during step 2, it will behave correctly and stay connected.
I only have this bug since 8.2, on 8.1 it works correctly. I tried redownloading 8.2 which didn't change anything.
I'm running xonotic on Ubuntu 16.10. It does not matter if i make my own server or join any other with the hook enabled.
On my mac this bug does not appear in 8.2.

I had the same problem. It looks like Xonotic registers the keypress 2 times.
I solved it disabling ibus (look at the first answer here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/510430/disable-ibus-in-ubuntu-14-04#528379).

Ty a lot, this fixed it for me!
Still, somebody might want to look into how xonotic conflicts with ibus, but it's definitely no priority.
