Sorry folks, just after sending my mail, I recalled another fix...
>> DESQview had a few small problems like that too that could be
>> solved by randomly hitting all CTRL/SHIFT/ALT keys quickly.
A workaround is to slow down the keyboard as much as you
can, so that the make/breakcodes are not emitted that fast.
Reducing keyboard typematic rate often helps (of course, this
is a bad fix...). Not using extended keys also helps, that is
using old Wordstar-hotkeys for cursor movements, not using the
keys from the right half of the keyboard (cursor, numpad, the
block with Ins/Del/...).
If you don't use a keyboard driver, loading one could also help.
But in this cause Novell's/Caldera's KEYB won't fix the problem,
since it partially uses the BIOS driver for hardware programming
(which is quite good in most other scenarios, since it saves memory).
Try e.g. K3PLUS (on request, I could send you a stable multinational
alpha version, that supports most keyboard layouts of our
small planet, except those from Far East - we just don't have
any info on these).
Hope, this could help...
