Description Charles Van Noland 2007-08-10 17:40:22 UTC 
in my SDL application I'm working on, when I hold down the W and A keys, spacebar does not register, nor does it register when holding down the S and D keys. I'm sure there are other combos, but space works for instance when i'm holding W and S or W and D... is there a workaround? or possibly a fix in the works? I've seen this issue with other SDL based applications as well and it's quite a pesky problem. I'd like to know as soon as this issue has been addressed. Thanks.   -Charlie

Is this specific to SDL, or does it also happen in notepad, etc?
Usually when this comes up it's a hardware issue:
