Description:
Left shift stopped functioning properly after update of xorg.
If I press shift down while some keys (eg. z or x) is already pressed down, xorg doesn't show it being pressed but only shows the keypress after I have stopped pressing it.
AIGLX is disabled from xorg.conf and the problem occurs on both evdev and kdb keyboard drivers.

I have confirmed this problem on both of my 2 computers (both having ati radeon card, other has 9600pro and the other x300).

Additional info:
* package version(s):
xcb-proto-1.1-1
libxcb-1.1-1
libx11-1.1.3-6
mesa-7.0.1-1
renderproto-0.9.3-1
xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2-2
xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3-1
xorg-server-1.4-5
fglrx-8.42.3-1
fglrx-utils-8.42.3-1

* config and/or log files etc.
(included as attachment)

Steps to reproduce:
1. start xev and press z down
2. press shift down and see that it isn't shown in the output(until you stop pressing it)

This patch fixes the issue (for me at least).
