 You are seeing a different bug. This bug is triggered by mouse button
activity while a key is pressed, and results in the key remaining
pressed indefinitely (or until the condition is triggered again, but
the keyboard is still in a broken state after this).

Please file a new bug for this behaviour, or find an existing bug with
the same symptoms and subscribe to it.
