Do you use a custom keyboard handler? In my programs, ctrl has a
tendency to get "stuck" if it is used when my own keyboard handler
is active. Again, pressing ctrl once "unlocks" this behaviour.


I'm using Allegro's keyboard routines, but I'm using a keyboard callback
function.
This is the function, but it doesn't have anything to do with the shift key
so... i dunno.

     int jgKeyCallback(int key)
     {
      if ((key >> 8) == KEY_INSERT)
      {
        // toggle keyboard mode (just a global)
         (KeyboardMode == insert)
         ? (KeyboardMode = overwrite)
         : (KeyboardMode = insert);
      }
      return key;
     }
