alt and ctrl toggle permanent

Hi everyone,

maybe here's someone who can help me if I simply missed some option :)

Since today (didn't play last temporary league), I seem to be able to permanently toggle:
- with CTRL the alternative skill sets
- with ALT the highlighting of sockets on items (normally hidden unless mouse-overed)

Before, it was: press the key and the alternative functionality was shown (secondary skill sets, gem slots, and so an). And lift the key again to return to normal.

Now, after 1 button press of each, the alternative visuals remain permanently. Until pressed again.

A friend of mine having started with Scourge today as well does not experience this problem. Nor did a restart fix it.

Any suggestions? Is this a bug?



edit: As some others are experiencing this issue as well.. I got cautious when pressing ESC key after the CTRL toggle issue, that this would bring up the Windows start menu (ctrl+esc works the same as the windows key) - hence why I assume it's maybe nothing directly with PoE, but indirectly with some background stuff? DirectX or dunno? I am not that knowledgable with these kind of specials :D

Win7 for me

pc restart fixed it :) dunno how to delete the forum post

I just had the same bug!
controls like (shift/alt/control)all working like a toggle buttons
pc restart fixed it!
posting for visibility!

Same bug, same solution.

Same issue, sadly it did not work for me

Hi,

This is probably the Windows feature Ease of access -> Sticky keys. Try toggling that setting.

Hi DrChz,

as mentioned before, the problem came out of nowhere - at least for me. Only from the PoE patch, nothing changed on my operating system.

So, thanks for your advice. But no, it wasn't based on that. :) For me at least, still.
