Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

I have some key bindings where I connect different keyboard shortcuts to Shift-F10 to open the kontext (mouse right-click menu). I was happy to see a fix in this release (0,87.0) to the bug that (I think) was introduced in 0.86.0.

Nevertheless, the bug still remains and the Shift key still can remain stuck.

Theses are my keyboard bindings - I don't know if they in some way interfere with each other since there are four of them generating the same keyboard sequence. (Shift-F10).

The easiest way to reproduce is setting up these keyboard bindings and then using them for up to 10-20 times and it will be reproduced.

Given that different keyboards has different behaviour, my specific keyboard is the built-in one on a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 laptop computer.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Shift key not getting stuck.

❌ Actual Behavior

Shift key getting stuck

Check - no problem! Would you like me to generate it when the bug is in play or before it has happened. I usually just turn the keyboard manager off and on to resolve the sticky Shift-key.

After it happens should be fine

Actually took a bit longer than expected this time before the bug occured (started to believe the bug was gone), but eventually it happened again. In the state where the zip-file was created, the left shift-key is not perhaps locked, but rather inverted, i.e. I need to press the left shift-key to have the shortcut work, that is to get the shortcut Ctrl+' to work I need to press and hold the left Shift-key to make it seem not being pressed.

I'm not sure how to reproduce exactly, but I have a notion of it usually in connection where precede the Ctrl+' shortcut with marking up text using Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right arrows, and when marked som text using Ctrl+' to open the context menu. But it's far from every it triggers the bug.

Let me know if this wasn't a clear description.

Hello, just wanted to ask if you had time to look into this. My notion (perhaps just very subjective) is that the bug now happenes more often - from being a bit hard to reproduce to now happening several times a day.
