Area(s) with issue?

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

I wanted to have media controls on a normal US English laptop keyboard that lacks the numpad.

I remapped: Insert to Volume Mute Page Up to Volume Up Page Down to Volume Down PrintScreen to Play/Pause Media

Then made the shortcuts: Shift + Play/Pause Media = Next Track Alt + Play/Pause Media = Previous Track

✔️ Expected Behavior

When i pressed Shift or Alt + PrintScreen (remapped to Play/Pause Media), it should do Next/Previous Track, and after releasing these keys, Shift or Alt should act like their normal selves.

❌ Actual Behavior

After the shortcut works the first time, Shift or Alt stays pressed and it won't unpress even if i press Shift or Alt again.

This behavior has been ever since Keyboard Manager was first released, and i tried this in many computers. This is the first time i have time to make a report.
