Movement after KEYUP, only after pause func

[esteel]

I've been trying to figure it out for hours. Someone help please? The problem is if I hit the pause key while holding a movement key, the character will continue moving in that direction after its unpaused. The only way to stop it is to hold key for the opposite direction and pause simultaneously, or close.
