Consolidated all the stuck key issues to MC-886.

This bug happens to me too on Linux Mint. (I'm using the NEO 2 layout). It's temporarily fixed when you press F11. I have updated LWJGL and it doesn't make a difference.

If the sticky keys thing itself (not this bug) is intended please make an option to turn it off completely!
Also please make it possible to change the key that is used to move the whole stack to for example chest (at the moment it's SHIFT + Click).

Something similar happens when you alt-tab out of the game. It still thinks that alt is being held when you get back to the minecraft window.

I doubt that this is intended, because it happens randomly without pressing LSHIFT and RSHIFT! Pressing F11 once or twice fixes it temporarily.

This is intended. Pres LSHIFT and RSHIFT simultaneously to activate 'sticky keys', and press RSHIFT to deactivate. You must have been clicking random keys on your keyboard to amuse yourself?

I've seen this exactly once in 1.3.2, but not yet in 1.4.2.

Also, seriously? An intended feature is to occasionally make the SHIFT keycodes stick and require a resolution change to solve? Intended? No sir, I doubt that.

Happened to me the past two days aswell.
My solution: exit fullscreen and enable fullscreen again. It's gone then.

This, I believe, is an intended feature. Try pressing LSHIFT and RSHIFT simultaneously, or try pressing individually.
