Shift+R will not perform any boost modifier movements.

Bug: Shift+R does not function for any Boost Modifier+Movement command.
Cause: Assigning any movement to R, and Boost Modifier to Left or Right Shift.
Reproduction: 100%. Does not function in any situation.
Severity: 2
_____ ____ ___ __ _
This was a fuzzy bunny to test since the Tutorial map was disabled, but I've pinpointed a rather... specific bug.
Shift+R will not perform a forward boost, dash or 180 if pressed.
-If Boost Modifier is on a key that isn't Left Shift or Right Shift, Boost Modifier+R will function.
-If Forward/Back/Left/Right is on a key that isn't R, Shift+Move (any direction) will function.
-If Double Tap to Boost is enabled, R will function.
Only this key combination is non-functional.
Testing done to pinpoint the issue:
-For movement: all letter keys, semi-colon and comma were tested with LeftShift.
-Result: Only R did not function with LeftShift.
-For boost modifier: Left Shift, Right Shift, Left Control and A were tested with R.
-Result: Only Left and Right Shift did not function with R.
-Two keyboard layouts were tested: Qwerty and Colemak (Colemak's R is where Qwerty's S is).
-Result: layout had no effect; only R did not function despite it being in a different key location.
-Double Tap to Boost was tested with R.
-Result: functioned as normal, but Boost Modifier no longer worked at all (assumed to be intended design).
Other Notes:
-I at first suspected that the issue was related to reassigning Back to a key that wasn't S. I now suspect that rebinding S/Back is not a cause, but I wasn't able to dis/prove that with 100% accuracy.
This bug is awfully specific, so specific that I feel that testing from other users may be necessary to prove that this isn't a client-side issue for myself (read: related to my keyboard hardware) or somehow related to a Windows command (e.g. "Why does Alt+F4 close my game!?!?1").
That said, it's a huge inconvenience for me since, on a Colemak keyboard, my WASD is WARS. While I can compensate in a number of ways by avoiding the combo, none of those options is ideal.
Thanks for the game, and hopefully this will be fixed if it can be fixed?
It was fun while it lasted.

It was actually much more severe for me, as the boost-R combination often caused unrecoverable lockups.

This happens when trying to use a item in a mad rush!
I did test it by spam pressing both keys and 10/10 tests this causes the client to crash. Could this be some refresh command for refreshing the client possibly?

I can't recall if using the default Shift with R produced the crash or not (though I know it also failed to boost properly). I'll have to test that when I get home...
