Problems with Rev and Apple's Bluetooth wireless keyboard (??)

[Howard Bornstein]

This is very strange. I recently bought a new Mac and ordered Apple's
wireless bluetooth keyboard. I've been very happy with it and it has
worked flawlessly...until I started working on a Rev application I had
previously developed. Then I noticed a very strange thing.

Suddenly a handler that used "if the shiftkey is down" didn't work
anymore. Of course I thought it was a bug that was introduced in V2.6
but then I checked it in 2.5.1 (where the app was developed) and it
didn't work there!

So I did some testing. On a different Mac (with a different keyboard)
I put this in the message box:

put the shiftkey

When it was down, it printed out "down". When it was up, it printed
out "up". Duh! However, on my bluetooth keyboard, it never recognized
the down state. It turns out it has the same problem for the optionkey
and the controlkey!

Obviously, my keyboard can type in CAPITALS, so it's not a hardware
problem. In fact, the only place I've noticed this is in Rev.

So... if anyone out there has an Apple wireless keyboard, would you
please try the above test and let me know the results.

Anybody have any clue why this would be happening?
