Cannot equip or cycle weapons while crouch sliding!!

This is hugely affecting my gameplay.

How I always die beacuse of the bug:
I be sliding mid air then switch weapons and shoot.... But instead, it literally switches nothing and I just throw a random kick on nothing. The enemy gets confused and I try to run from them by again sliding and try to equip weapons with 1 or 2, but then I throw a second kick midair because.. equipping weapons doesn't work while crouch-sliding. Boom. Died.

I swear I'm not exaggerating when I say, I died over a 100 times specifically because of this bug. It affects me in pubs, ranked, arenas, control, and in the firing range.

Bug Reproduction: Slide while holding crouch and try to cycle/equip weapons through any keyboard keys.

It is impossible to ignore it while playing...

I had to bind "Cycle weapons" to mouse-wheel down (cause mouse doesn't bug like keyboard) but it is just not the same at all!!! Much slower than just pressing 1 or 2 and I'm not used to it at all and forgetting it exists.

As you can see, this bug only happens with keyboard. The game doesn't register 1 or 2 (or any keys bound to equipping weapons) when crouch sliding, but when I bind to mouse, it works fine.

Here are some keyboard macros to reproduce:

Manual macro: Run it and try to cycle or equip weapons with keyboard while it is automatically crouch-sliding.

Automatic macro: A macro that should switch to the weapon on key '1' automatically. But before running it, you should get 2 weapons and switch to the other weapon. If it doesn't automatically switch to the 1st weapon, then the bug exists in your game.

I don't know if it only happens to me but please you've to fix it. There must be something in your code cause I tested my keyboard for ghosting and it can run about 10 keys simultaneously. (I don't have more fingers).

And to further confirm to you that it is not a problem from my side, I can actually use healing, sheilds, and grenades while crouch-sliding. The problem only happens when you switch weapons! The bug is in your own code.

Just so you know, I think I've missed like 2 seasons of the game and I came back just to be greeted with this annoying bug... I just never had this before. I cannot play like I'm used to.

Respawn, Please fix.
