Bug Description

Binary package hint: singularity

Pressing the left or right arrow keys once in certain screens of singularity consistently moves left or right by two units instead of one. I first noticed this in the Research window and thought it might be deliberate. However it also happens when moving through a set of bases in one region (thus skipping every other base), which is very annoying.

Up and down arrow keys work fine, as do all of the other keyboard shortcuts I've used. It's just left and right arrow keys.

I have been consistently able to reproduce this issue, but with singularity 1.0b1-2 in Ubuntu Focal, it is finally fixed. Moving left or right now move one unit at a time. :)
