Since I am the reporter for #10946, let me clarify things: As explained in https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/10946#issuecomment-844177129, the issue may occur even when pressing shift at the first time; the probability that the error occurs is just very low, hence the recommendation to press shift many times in order to help this error be reproduced.
