on_key_press and Escape Bug?

[Gurok]

I created a new game using the default template and added this line to the top of on_key_press:

Code: ags

Display("Keycode: %d", keycode);

If I play the game, then hit Ctrl+Q, I see a quick message about the keypress, then the quit dialogue is displayed. If I click the "Play" button with the mouse, the game won't recognise me hitting Escape until I hit another key.

Is this a bug or some feature I don't know about?

Can anyone else test and verify that this happens? I am using AGS 3.3.0.

It's a pretty well known problem with Allegro library:

Plan is to update to Allegro 4.4 (and/or aplly a patch).
