Can anyone still reproduce this bug in Godot 3.2.3 or any later release?

@joshuatree0587 Which operating system are you using, and what kind of input are you using (keyboard/mouse/controller)?

[joshuatree0587]

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and using a keyboard to trigger the default "ui_left" and "ui_right" actions.

For anyone stumbling on this via Google, you can temporarily work around the issue in data by handling NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT on a script attached to your root scene node.

# HACK
# When the game loses focus, is_action_pressed remains true for any action that was active at the time.
# To become false, the key must be pressed & released again after the window regains focus.
# To remedy this, we will tell the engine that the user released certain actions.
# The engine has no concept of "cancelling" an input, so this might have unintended side effects,
# such as inadvertently activating in-game abilities or UI controls.
func _notification(what):
	if what == NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT:
		Input.action_release("ui_up")
		Input.action_release("ui_down")
		Input.action_release("ui_left")
		Input.action_release("ui_right")
		...
