Weird Issues with ALT Key - Prime Fishing & Rob's Abyss Crafter Pro

I've noticed that using the action bar to drop inventory is having weird issues with the alt key.

I use alt-tab frequently to change between active windows, and have noticed occasionally the bot is stuck, trying to empty the inventory with hotkeys on the action bar.

The problem being, if I've used alt-tab, the alt key sometimes stays "stuck" meaning the hot keys do not function correctly. It isn't physically stuck as the key itself is moving fine.

At first I thought this was an issue with my keyboard, so I removed the alt key and the issue persisted. Furthermore, I've just noticed it occurring on a second computer which makes me believe this isn't related to hardware, but rather a software issue.

This has only started occurring since the input disable/enable addition to the client.

If I had to guess, this is occurring every 10 minutes or so, but I can't reproduce it on demand. It just randomly happens while I am alt-tabbing.

Sticky keys is disabled.

Bot status when this occurs on Prime Fishing is "Dropping Fish". There's nothing further in the logs to add.

If I manually press the alt key once, when this bug appears, it starts dropping the fish/working again

Description of issue on Rob's Abyss Bot: Rob's Abyss Crafter Pro [SALE]

@Savior believes this is a client issue, hence the post here.

@Party your thoughts?

RS3 here; This has broken my client, half the scripts do not respond the other half are misclicking. I have tried a fresh install of the client as well as clearing jagex and .bio caches. The Alt key for me at least, doesn't undo its toggle. Everything has been working fine until 2 days prior. Today I have yet to see a working bot run but I have accrued 3 hours worth of time attempting to configure this. Is there any troubleshooting I could do to remedy this?

Experiencing this with other bots as well.
I can easily fix it by pausing the script, pressing the alt key in game, and then not using ALT-TAB to switch out of it.

Send me log files

I uploaded a portion of one using @RobinPC's Abyss bot here:

Rob's Abyss Crafter Pro [SALE]

The log file was just the same thing repeating over until I manually intervened.

I'll try to get a more indepth log.

Further testing:

  • Pressing "Alt" key once while RuneScape is the active window doesn't cause issues
  • Pressing Alt + Tab while RuneScape is the active window does cause the issue
  • Pressing Alt once while RuneScape is the active window fixes the issue and the bot resumes dropping fish
  • If the issue has occured and been "fixed" by pressing Alt once with the window open, and I stop using a bot, for some reason the RuneScape game client still thinks Alt is being held down. Example - Pressing "E" on the teleport window for Edgeville instead teleports me to Eagles Peak - the shortcut for Eagles Peak is Alt + E.
  • With input blocked, trying to reproduce the error using the above steps doesn't work and the bot functions normally

I think you need to adjust your logging preferences, if you haven't already.
Edit > Preferences > Logging
Set it to fine, and try to reproduce please <3
