I was merely being considerate, as clearly the new patch was insistent on removing everything fun/unrealistic/unintended from the game (sapper stacking, cheering, eye-stabbing, voice spamming, etc) and going by that philosophy Ctrl+Jing while moving should also be removed. I see we like to be picky on what does and does not get fixed. Oh well, no need to explain yourself, I see that's bit much for you.

A common glitch or oversight used by cavalry players is the rearing their horse through the Ctrl + J hotkey. The result is an instantaneous stoppage of their horse in 0.0 seconds, no matter how fast the horse is moving. This is often used by players to instantly stop while moving to surprise their opponent and attack them, and is also often used by dragoons to stop and reload quickly. Not only does this defy the laws of physics and would be plainly impossible, but it would also launch the rider several meters into the air and possibly kill him or send him unconscious due to g-forces. The result is people bypassing the necessity to decelerate and instead going from 40mph to 0mph in zero seconds. The Ctrl + J hotkey was probably only thought of by the developers as an easter-egg type feature to be used for show, but they made the unfortunate oversight of not disabling its use while moving.

The simple solution is to disable Ctrl+J-ing while moving.
