Are you using a laptop by any chance? The new mechanism for keyboard handling
relies  a little more than the previous one on the keyboard to debunk keys
properly, so it could explain things. Otherwise... I'll try to stress test IDE a
little more. I already have a clue: the shift state isn't restored properly in
_some_ case. which one... that's where I need more precise input on what you have
to do with the keyboard to get into this uncomfortable state.
