Directional keys in play mode

Hello,

Firstly i would like to thank the entire Unity team for creating such a wonderful software and a special thanks to the Linux port team for their efforts in this monumental task.

My game (at the moment) relies on directional keys, but in this version of Unity whenever i'm in play mode and hit any directional key, the key is first sent to the listening GameObject, which reacts accordingly, and then the area looses focus and the focus cycles through the editor panels making it impossible to play test the game.

This problem wasn't present in the first experimental build, it only surfaced when i updated to this new version a couple of days ago, and (to my knowledge) it only happens with the directional keys, i have changed the key mapping for my game to be able to test it and it's working fine.

Unity3d version: 5.1.0f3
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Thank you very much, waiting patiently for the 5.2 release.

 

This issue has been reported previously: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/arrow-keys-get-stuck-when-you-press-them.356479/ - unfortunately there is no solution so far so hopefully the issue is gone in the next build.

 

Thank you AZeroEight, didn't saw that post while searching for a similar issue. Let's hope it gets fixed soon.
