Bug #756
Shoots after loading a saved game with a click
100%
Description
When I save or load a game, if I confirm my save/load with a click, then after the game is loaded/menu goes away after save, then I'll shoot my weapon once. So far I only did it with the Fighter but when I use weapons that shoot projectiles and always use mana then it could waste some mana. That's kinda annoying because I mostly use the mouse & WASD+around keys to play, and it's kind of annoying to move one of the hands to the Enter key to save/load, but it's no big deal.

Updated by When loading a game, I can't reproduce this. However, when saving, it will fire the weapon if the fire button is used in the menu. Investigating...

Updated by Looks to me like we need to reinstate logic I had in the original bind context implementation. See here:
engine/portable/src/b_main.c #1447 - queEventsForHeldControls()
I've set the priority for this so high because it really does make controlling the game a problem and prevents using the binding contexts effectively.

Fixed for beta6.9.
There already was a mechanism that kept track which binding context each individual input device (a particular key/axis/hat) was associated with. However, when this association changes, the old mechanism did not react in any way. Now I've added a logic wherein the state of a particular device key/axis/hat is flagged as "expired" when the context association changes while the device is not in its default state.
In practice, we consider the state of a device unknown when it changes its binding context until we can be sure that it has really returned to its default state.
