I’m also encountering this issue. After a bit of experimenting, this is what I found when using Local Space Coordinates:

If the actor has any rotation on the Up axis, movement (while holding the shift key) on the Left and Forward axes is incorrect.

If the actor has any rotation on the Forward axis, movement (while holding the shift key) on the Left and Up axes is incorrect.

It seems to work correctly when the actor has no rotation, rotation only on the Left axis, or when using World Space Coordinates

@GraemeBB the team is having a hard time getting a repro here, could you get us a video?

I’m not sure how to do video of both my mouse and screen, but this is a screenshot of my UI in UEFN, maybe there’s a clue in there?

It’s super easy to repro as noted by the other user in this thread, just put it in local space coordinates and not world space coordinates and it happens immediately
