Lol, just so we're clear, you're not hitting shift+g or whatever for
those shortcut keys, right?  Anyway, my suspicion is that something's
causing it to send some strange signal that maybe to dos looks like a
shift key being pressed.  Just a guess mind.  Well, I don't really
know what else could be the probelm at this point but, it occurs to me
that between your lack of time and the more professional application
of this, you may wish to seriously look into the advanced menu system
in place of the simple menu.  It may not have this same issue, but,
either way, it has a more professional look and functionality.  Just a
thought.

Anyway, I wish you good luck on getting it all figured out and running.
