I am glad that you were able to reproduce the problem. It might be that the sleep is a problem there, but another user has also this problem and I think he doesn't use a sleep in between. However , I could imagine that I already tried to read the screen using Shift+Up / Shift+Down. It also explains why it happens with the shift key and seldom with the control key.
I was sure that I was able to release the held shift key key with a sequence, but never managed to remember which key combination it was. Thanks for finding it out :-).
