I experience "stuck" shifting keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl) in vDosPlus
fairly regularly. Jiggling these keys usually unsticks them.
Occasionally, I have to kill and restart the vDosPlus session, but I've
never had to go so far as to restart Windows. I have no idea what
causes the keys to stick, and no solution to offer. It's a bit odd that
you've only just started to experience this problem. Has something in
your setup changed?
