Well I finally found out the problem with this issue. For some reason when the ALT key is bound to strafe it causes the leftarrow and rightarrow to become strafe. I just removed the stafe bind to the ALT key and it works fine. There must be a bug in the port of PocketQuake. I added the following line to my autoexec.cfg file:
unbind "ALT"
Hope the helps.
