           Summary: Shift sticks when selecting text with the arrow keys.
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: 0.3.0-SVN
          Platform: VMWare 4
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Drivers
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs(a)reactos.com
        ReportedBy: waxdragon(a)ameritech.net


VMWare 4.5.2
ReactOS r16251 (this is not a recent bug, I think 15xxx has it)

1. Boot ROS
2. Open notepad
3. Type "This sucks"
4. Press and hold Shift and use the arrow keys to select the previous text (not
the numberic keypad*)
5. Type "This sucks" again, notice it is in UPPERCASE and backspace no
longer works

* Numlock seems to affect this.  I boot vmware with numlock off, and this bug
occurs.  If turn num lock on before typing, imput works as expected.  It's Shift
that gets stuck because capslock Shifts them back to lowercase, but the numbers
come out as ! @ # $ still.  The capslock - arrow keys interaction is also
discussed in bug 617

There were some other  comments on this bug, basically keycode dumps
showing how the arrow keys are emulated my qemu and vmware.

Has anyone seen tinus?
