When playing with the ranger i am able to shoot in diagonal directions, except to the upper left. It just refuses to shoot if faced diagonal left. I'm on 1.2.

Are you using a keyboard? Due to how keyboards work some combinations wont register, what key set-up do you have?
-
Arrow keys to move and space to shoot.

Wont work unless you have a magic mechanical keyboard that doesn't use the standard arrays, its to do with how keyboards are designed.
I tend to use X for attack and ASDF for the skills and potions and have strafe on shift if your wondering what to use instead, try having your hand over the letters and set what you find comfortable.

A suggestion for keyboard would be either:
SteelSeries 6Gv2 Cherry Black
or
SteelSeries 6Gv2 Cherry Red
The latter is the same as the former but the keys require you to apply less effort to press down. Both feature complete key roll over (Windows will register every key press regardless of what keys you're holding down) if you connect it to your computers PS/2 port, if you use USB it will only support any 6 keys and a Modifier key (Which is still awesome) being pressed simultaneously (This is a USB limitation).
There is also the SteelSeries 7G keyboard.
Most Razor keyboards and various other manufacturers only support the WASD keys being always responsive, but not necessarily any other key, which is incredibly dumb, poorly thought out and practically just as useful as a cheap and nasty keyboard.

This hardware issue called keyboard ghosting (http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplained.mspx).
