I'm walking, just walking

This has been on ongoing problem but it has happened maybe six times in the last couple of hours.

I just take off walking one direction or another.  I walk to the end of the street and keep on walking in place.  At first I thought it was catching up with my overuse of the arrow keys, but a few times I have gone to get a cup of coffee or feed the dog and come back and I am still walking off the edge of the page.

I have to leave the world for it to stop - and that even takes several seconds on most occasions.

Safari 5.1

  • Try pressing ctrl+enter a few times the next time it happens :)
    It sounds like the flash bug where flash doesn't recognize that you've let go of an arrow key.

  • I've had this happen a couple of times too, I usually to catch something to interact with (like petting a tree etc) as performing an action seems to stop it. I'll try ctrl+enter next time though.

  • The other trick is to press the arrow of the direction you're walking.
