alternate key disappears upon saving of keys

as my w key has been very buggy (if i hold it for a while, i continue to move after i have let go,) i today decided to add the q button as a secondary forward movement key; saving seems to have the same result as navigating away without a save, it simply disappears. is this reserved for joysticks or is this a bug i could easily fix?

I tried changing from 'W' key to 'Q' key in Options > Controls > Infantry tab and it worked.

This W-key is only tired of all this running forward over the years and wants to go into retirement.

Depends off what keyboard it is. Some you can clean, some not and on some keyboards you can change the mechanics with some of unused keys.

I forgot to mention you must run BF1942 with administrator rights.
