Random extra movement after key press

Hi, I posted this as a feedback after the initial release and I still see the same issue in VS2. Sometimes at random, the game does not recognize the release of a key, usually with movement. This manifests as added thrust or rotation in the jetpack, or extra movement when walking. I suspect that I also see it when I'm trying to interact with say a container and I hit 'F', because there are some times where I hit F and nothing happens, and <speculation> maybe it thinks I'm holding the F key down instead of clicking? </speculation>.

Examples:

I tap the key to rotate my toon on the jetpack a few degrees, it turns ~90 degrees.

I tap to move forward a step, I walk forward several steps and walk off a cliff

I tap to move sideways and...you get the idea. Behavior is consistent since release to VS2.

I still get this bug, specifically random times the game seems to maintain (not as a lag glitch) the key press like it thinks I'm holding the key longer than I am.

Surprised nobody else is seeing this

Still an issue, just happens randomly. Lost count of the number of times I tap W to inch a little closer to floating object to weld or grind it, and instead I surge forward ten meters, slam into the object and watch it drift away uncontrollably.

I wasn't sure if it was me or not... The welding/grinding part happens to me all the time!

As of 2.3 update, I'm still getting this extra movement. As in, I tap W/S/A/D or whatever, and instead of a gentle forward movement it's like I held said key down for a full second. Especially irksome when working on a smaller grid in zero G that has no counter thrust. "Let me get a little closer to grind that floating grid...oops, dang I hard thrusted into it and how it's spinning off into space away from me." (yes I know phrasing)

Just to be clear, I don't have any issues with any other game/program so it's unlikely to be outside the game. There are also times when it seems to hiccup for the same amount of time as the extra thrust/rotation, but in this case it's repeating 'doing nothing'. i.e. like lag but everything else is moving along without a stutter.

I've tried three different brands of keyboard (so different driver sets), and it's consistent, so I can probably rule out keyboard or keyboard drivers. I've seen it on two clean OS installs. I have 64GBmemory and a 4070 NVIDIA card so it's likely not resources (since nothing else is lagging). I'm out of ideas on this end.
