WRONG INPUT BUG: Winding up my heavy attack causes a following light attack. (Keyboard and Mouse)

[The Dahaka]

I have this problem on keyboard and mouse, where when i hold Shift + Mouse 1 to perform my wound up heavy attack with my character performing a light attack right after. Although I haven't clicked Mouse 1 again, the game just does it for me. It has killed me at least twice in a boss fight. I'd say it happens every 4th or fifth attack no matter how full or empty my stamina bar is.

So I wonder does anyone else have that problem?

had this happen a few times
not even sure what casued it

while it may not solve the issue - i remapped heavy attack to its own key ( ctrl )
can still do the charge-up with shift click if needed

[Powercrank]

happens to me too

also, the game will randomly automatically do a backstep attack SOMETIMES after i do a retreating charge attack (done with rapiers/curved swords by cancelling a charge attack with a backstep).

It happens to me too. It also happens with "w" key after I release the button char still keeps going forward for a while. I think there is some kind of input delay on keyboard and mouse

Same here in AZERTY (FR) keyboard.
It's a bug in a feature...

To do it at will : LCTRL + Mouse Button (both kept pressed)
Then when the "swing" is over release the LCTRL key only and keep the Mouse button : it will attack again...

In fact the way the program the power/charge attack is that if you keep the mouse button for "attack" and spam the LCTRL key it will attack the same way as if you just spam the LButton of the mouse.
So if the mouse is pressed an release the key it means the same as clicking...

Can somebody finally fix this?

Same problem as Dahaka here. It has killed, or at least caused me to take unnecesarry damage, countless times. Especially infiuriating on the final boss of the DLC.

It's not just M&KB getting this. Since the DLC I've had the game do R1s or R2s when I don't even have my fingers on the shoulder buttons and am actually trying to jump, roll, or pick something up off the ground.

I thought it was just Bluetooth weirdness. But if others are noticing the same thing, it's gotta be the game...

After a bit more research, I found a workaround, which is what CodeKiller said, but to clarify:
This happens when you let go of Shift before letting go of Mouse 1. The game reads you holding Mouse 1 alone as a separate attack, therefore following up the Heavy attack with a Light one.

To avoid this let go of Mouse 1 FIRST, then release Shift. Hope this helps someone.

On M&KB this has been going on (at least for me, and others from the looks of it) since release of the game itself.
Edit: Only the heavy attack part though.
