Spacebar as 'Quick Retreat Ping' is Automatically Binding to Left Mouse Button

I've been using Spacebar as my 'Quick Retreat Ping' hotkey for years. However, lately I've noticed that any time I use the advanced pings with my Spacebar, as in:

Spacebar + Left Mouse Button (dragging up, down, left, or right)

...somehow this hotkey gets ** automatically ** binded to my Left Mouse Button (without changing the Spacebar bind listed in the menu), and I can't get rid of it unless I randomly hit CTRL or ALT or something and start click-dragging all over the place.

It's really annoying, because once I ping at all with Spacebar, any clicks with my Left Mouse Button (for example, clicking enemy champion to see their items) do not work, and instead I am unintentionally pinging retreat all over the place, confusing my teammates and ruining the game.

Is there someway to fix this problem? Thanks.

For anyone else having the same issue, my solution for the time being is to give up 'Quick Retreat Ping' altogether, and instead opt for 'Retreat Ping' binded to Spacebar. With this, you can still click-drag for the advanced pings...the only annoyance is that you have to actually click to get the retreat ping itself...kind of a waste of time and effort.

Anyways, hope this gets patched!

I'm currently setting myself an alternative key binding, and discovered that this bug isn't exclusive to Spacebar. I just tried A and C, and the same thing is happening.
