I'm using Fedora Core 1 (Linux Kernel 2.6). The problem, for me, has 
nothing to do with the shift key. If I press 'Caps Lock' and left-click 
in the world, I get an unusuable different menu as below. Similarly if i 
press the wheel mouse middle 'button' in a workspace window context, I 
get an unusable 2nd page of that context's menu. And, within the 
workspace window, I can no longer control the selection of text, not 
that I could do anything with the text via the now unusable menu. I 
should add that this is no longer a problem for me since I discovered 
that clicking on the Caps Lock solves (and triggers) the problem. Still, 
until I got clued in, this was almost a show-stopper as far as using squeak.

I don't know that this is a "problem"; we're not even looking at caps lock, as 
I recall.

Instead, we are seeing the SHIFT key being pressed while the CAPS LOCK is on 
(that is, it is acting as a SHIFT lock).

And many menus (the world menu and the text editor menus) do something 
different when SHIFT is on.
