Shift Key problem

from Stardock Forums

Hello startdock. I tried your Multiplicity software. If I changed mouse to left handed (using right button as primary) and I use “preventing computer switch via mouse movement with shift key pressed”. If I move from primary to secondary with right Shift presses and come back to primary with right shift key and If I click on firefox taskbar icon (which already opened). It opens new window. It seems it takes as shift key pressed. But If I press the left shift key one time it works fine. It's a bug.

If when you move to the other PC after holding down shift, if you let go, tap shift a couple of times, does it then act as expected?

If we move mouse from Primary PC to secondary PC with (right)Shift Key press and release it works fine. But when we retrun to primarty to Secondary with (right)Shift key press and release it acts like still we have hold the Shift key (which mean it opens new window of Explorer,Firefox or any other program already opened and being in taskbar).. And if we press and release the left shift key one time it works fine.
OS Windows 11

For example:
Enable option "Unless shift key held down" in the settings-->control switch based on mouse movement..
Open a explorer window in Primary.. move your mouse from Primary to secondary with Right shift key pressed..
Come back again to Primary to secondary with Right shift key pressed and release the shift key.. 
Now click on the taskbar Explorer opened window.. It'll open another one explorer window instead of selecting the window..

I know the phenomenon of what you speak, what I am asking is if what I detailed works for you to have the PC 'snap out of it'.  It sounds like it does
