Please describe the patch or change you made. It still occurs without mods.

I only recently installed mods. This has been occurring to me long before I installed mods. Its a very annoying bug. It also happens in live mode as well, when I start up the game after a break its fine but it initially starts when Ièm in build buy mode for an extended period of time.

  • Are you sure your keyboard layout and regional settings are correct?

    Because what you're describing sounds exactly like the game thinks you're using an AZERTY keyboard instead of a QWERTY keyboard layout - on an AZERTY keyboard, the W and Z keys are in the opposite places.
