player randomly runs forward [Upgrade from 1.9.0-beta5]
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit on an older Core2Duo system and an nVidia GTX 750 Ti video card. I play using keyboard only and don't have any joystick/gamepad connected to my PC.
I've been running Doomsday 1.9.0-beta5 for years and have never had any issues with it. Last weekend I decided to download Doomsday 1.13.2 and try it out. Everything seems to work except that in game my player will randomly either start spinning in place or will start running forward. The only way to stop is to hit ESC to pull up the menu, then ESC again to return to the game. This occurred in Doom, Doom 2, Heretic and Hexen. At first I thought this was related to me using SHIFT for running so I unbound it but it didn't make any difference. Here are my movement keybinds:
Has anyone else had similar issues? As I said, 1.9.0-beta5 doesn't have these issues so I'm back to using it for now.

Left: PAD4
Right: PAD6
Fire: CTRL
use: ALT
Strafe: SPACE
Run: SHIFT
Look Up: PAD7
Look Down: PAD1
Center View: PAD5

FYI, I have not tried any Doomsday versions between 1.9.0-beta5 and 1.13.2.
How do I reset the key bindings? I didn't see an option for it in the menu.
You'll need to manually clear and reset your bindings (this can be done from the console, like so):
The wiki contains more detailed information about upgrading from a much earlier version of Doomsday.
FYI, I don't use the Doomsday frontend. I launch everything from batch files using .rsp files like so:
See the wiki for details on command line options and response files.
Also, by the looks of your response files it seems you are effectively doing what the "new" Ring Zero GUI does, for you. Try running doomsday.exe -iwad c:/path/to/my/iwadfolder to see if this is more convenient (its certainly a more robust alternative to juggling manually written response files).
Thanks for the info on cleaning up my response files. I have doom2.rsp down to just "-game doom2 -alldehs". It's short enough now that I may just add it to the batch file directly and stop using response files (except config.rsp).
PAD4: move left PAD6: move right SPACE+PAD4: strafe left SPACE+PAD6: strafe right
binding.cfg: game.cfg: doom2.bat: config.rsp: doom2.rsp:EDIT2: Removed irrelevant info which on testing turned out to be incorrect.
