I play on Desktop, and whenever I use the Left Shift + function keys to change hand gestures for my left hand, they always work. But when I try to use the right shift to change gestures for my right hand, it works on and off.

For example, it will only work and change when I press Z to crouch, or for short periods when standing normally.

I have already tried turning gestures off and on, changing avatars, and configurating my setting to make sure the function keys work, but to no avail.

Could anyone please help me out with this?
