Its not an abnormaly either, as it happens to multiple programs such as MS Word, notepad, etc. It just how the hardware is. Who to say it's a glitch is like saying why 2 > 1 and not 1 > 2.If that was the case, the character would complete one action first before starting the other, similar to how macros are done.
Scenario 1: Jump first, try to attack in midair
1. Player presses jump key
2. Jump command is processed, character jumps into the air
3. Player then presses attack key
4. Attack command gets rejected because it can't be executed in the air
Scenario 2: Attack first, try to jump mid-attack
1. Player presses attack key
2. Attack command is processed, character starts executing attack
3. Player then presses jump key
4. Jump command gets rejected because it can't be executed during an attacking frame
Scenario 3: Both keys pressed during the same frame
1. Player presses jump key
2. Jump command is processed
3. Player presses attack key while still on the ground
4. Attack command is processed, character starts executing attack while jumping
MS Word is not the same because there is no limitation on two keys being pressed at once. The commands just get queued, and executed one before the other, and produce the same result as if the two were pressed sequentially. In this case, however, the desired effect can't be done by pressing the jump and attack keys separately.
