Motion commands broken on OSX 10.7

Dec 04, 2012 jeff2 link
Most motion commands do not function at all on OSX. Simple button-press commands, such as +Accelerate, function. However, +Accelerate 0 does nothing. The Accel command likewise does nothing.

After some testing, I found these commands and their granular variants behave the same. You can bind the basic +Command and and it will work, but the 0-variant and granular variant are simply ignored.

+Commands
-----
+TurnLeft, +TurnRight, +TurnUp, +TurnDown
+StrafeLeft, +StrafeRight, +StrafeUp, +StrafeDown
+RotateCW
+RotateCCW
+Accelerate

Granular commands
-----
Turn
Pitch
Roll
Accel
StrafeLR
StrafeUD

My system
-----
Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2011)
OSX Lion 10.7.5

I will reply with any other information you need to fix this issue.

I heard this was by design to prevent plugins from directly controlling your ship.
