@ALTURIS2, it certainly seems like this is never getting fixed, given the shift in development over to the new Input Manager. Though, I have no idea if this issue occurs when using the Input Manager.
The only viable workaround I know of is to use load the next scene using Additive mode, then destroy the original scene. This is not without its complexity, but with this approach held inputs are maintained throughout the process.

This bug has been around since at least 2013. 4 years now. Is there no workaround for this? No way for developers to make this work? What have people been doing for the past 4 years who needed to ship a game? Just avoiding ever designing a game that required input to retain its state across scene loads?
The lack of a fix for this over at least 4 years time seems in the category of unacceptable in my opinion.
