[Bug 806546] [NEW] Modifier keys (Shift, Alt, Super) stick/cling at the mere/simple push of a button.

 

Public bug reported:

When I press any of these keys, they sometimes stick/cling. Shift stick/cling approximately at every second press, Alt stick/cling a couple of times a day. Sticking/clinging disappears when I press sticked/clinged key. I haven't this bug in terminal on Alt+Ctrl+F1. I use KDE 4.6.3, I see it in openbox too. I got this bug after upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. At 8.10-10.10 (from intrepid to maverick) everything was normal.

 If sticked/clinged the left Shift button, then right Shift button cannot turn off sticking/clinging , and vice versa.
 My keyboard is clean.
