p g-release p-release tab tab-release tab tab-release enter enter-release 3 3-release
RShift * RShift-release 8/*-release RShift-release

That is: the Shift key gave two release events.

;-release d a-release f s-release j k l ; d-release j-release k-release
l-release ;-release f-release k-release

d a-release f s-release j k l ; d-release j-release k-release
l-release ;-release f-release k-release l-release

Apparently your keyboard has problems handling the situation where many
