I've had this problem since 3 patches ago...
While I'm playing, my movement keys will get "stuck" and my character will start running in circles. The only way I can stop it is to go to options and select ANY reset to defaults button. It doesn't matter what I press it for (chat, hud, graphics, etc..) but if I press reset defaults and hit yes or no my char will stop running in circles. Not only does my char run in circles but the camera scrolls around him too.
Help! I can't pvp with this issue

Don't know if this will help, but is your Num lock key on when you start to spin? I had that happen once and noticed that my Number lock key was lit up. I turned it off and I stopped spinning.
I also had problems with spinning with my other mouse. I would be running and all of a sudden he would be doing 360's at super fast speed. Finally got a new mouse and have had no problems at all.

This happens to me once in a while... thought it was just my keyboard. I'll either spin in circles, run in circles, or run in a straight line. I just pound my keyboard until it stops.... no clue.

Interesting.. some mod moved this here. This is obviously a tech support thing.. /shrug

interesting.. i've never heard of this "can't stop running" bug before. having experienced them all, as well as wasted a lot of time being bored purposely running in circles,i think it's possible that it's a key on your keyboard that's sticking. if you're running in circles it sounds like numlock/autorun is on and a left/right arrow key is sticking or the end/pgdn button is sticking. if numlock/autorun is not on, arrowleft/rightwould make the camera rotate, end/pgdn would make the toon spin. my own sticky key prob is a ctrl key and the only way i can unstick it is to keep tapping it til it unsticks. other than that i can't think of what else it could be since if it's a bug, it's 2 actions occurring at the same time
btw the prob you have, i do on purpose all the time.. e.g. keep right-arrow and end pressed, even more fun in a vehicle
