Summary

0007730: KEY_HOLD_MS is not applied when a single key combo triggers multiple keybindings

Description

Under certain conditions, the game ignores the KEY_HOLD_MS setting when a single key combo is pressed for less than the time specified by KEY_HOLD_MS, but the keys are pressed in an order such that they correspond to multiple different keybinds.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In interface.txt, set all of the relevant keybindings to REPEAT_SLOW.
2. Start a Fortress game.
3. Enter any selection mode that requires you to scroll around the map, e.g. k, or v, or d -> d.
4. Press Shift + direction, and release the Shift key slightly before the direction key.
5. Note that, even though the direction key was pressed only a single time and for less than the value of KEY_HOLD_MS, the cursor moves twice; one time for the Shift + direction fast scroll, and one time for the direction key on its own.

Additional Information

This probably affects any keybinding that uses a modifier key, in any game mode. I haven't had the opportunity to check them all.
