Party moves slower than key-press repeat, causing them to sprint off into the distance after you release the direction key.

The bug here is more that they move too slow than that they continue moving after the key is released.

Looks like this only really affects debug builds, at least on Windows (where it's really bad) though possibly a little even on Mac.

This was re-reported by a player with a less-performant laptop recently.

Generally the solution to this is to make release builds, not debug builds. I wouldn't suggest putting a lot of time into optimizing this.

There's no harm it poking around a bit for obvious stupid things though.

The person who reported it is running a release build, just on an older computer.

Okay, but then their issue is not "movement is sluggish in debug builds".

But the details,

Party moves slower than key-press repeat, causing them to sprint off into the distance after you release the direction key.

are exactly the same. so the issue could be retitled "movement is sluggish in debug builds or on slower hardware"
