Arrow key keeps pressed when start opens!

While I was playing my project "play with pinky 2", I was holding the right arrow key when I accidentaly pressed the windows key (the one in between "alt" and "ctrl".So it brought up start.I let go of the right arrow key and pinky kept on walking!I pressed left but pinky kept on walking right!This was not meant to happen in the scripts.I closed start but pinky still kept on walking right!Eventually,I clicked the green flag and everything was normal.I tried this over and over and it kept on happening.Every time I press the windows button while holding down another key,it counts as the key I pressed stays down.
Please fix this scratch team.

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><key[ right arrow  ]pressed?>
<change x by( 3

<end>

I think when you lose focus it keeps doing what it was doing when it was still focused... Try clicking on the Scratch window...

Re: Arrow key keeps pressed when start opens!

That happens when you hold the button down then when you click or somehow get off screen, to stop that, click the web player, the press the buttons you where holding.
