My character refuses to turn. I tried moving using the mouse, WASD, and arrow keys, but my character always faces the same direction.
A workaround I found is pressing the Enter key twice, which allows me to turn for less than a second before locking up again.
If it matters, I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, and using sun-java6.
Yes, I read that thread, but my problem is different. All keyboard keys work correctly, and I can walk, attack, and talk to NPCs just fine. My problem is that my character is always facing the same direction (for example, to the right). The only way I can change my direction is by pressing Enter twice (i.e. open chat then close it immediately); it works for less than a second before it sticks to the same direction again.
I don't have SCIM installed, and I tried the workarounds in the other thread, but nothing changed.
unbind all the joystick directional commands and see if that helps
Unbinding joystick commands fixed it! Thanks a lot.
