mousemove doesn't recognize "shiftkey is down", but only under Windows

Sadly, both the keysDown() function as well as rawKeyDown, only return a
keycode for the shift key (and the option key) upon key UP. All the other
keys work on key down but these do not. Do you have any idea why?

Should I file a bug report on ShiftKey down? Were you able to verify this
bug from the test code I sent (I put it in the card handler of a stack)?
