[SDL] Some keys cancel each other with 1.2.10 (not thetypicalkeyboard bug)

[James Haley]

Well, it's great to know I'm not just insane and imagining the entire thing 
:)

It appears that modifiers + arrow keys are fixed under 1.2.10, as you say
pressing shift now works, and for me, pressing alt now works. However, for
the other keys, like alphanumerics, it is not fixed. So, the question is, 
what
is the difference in how SDL is handling modifier keys from how it is
handling other keys, and what between 1.2.9 and 1.2.10 was changed to
make this difference?
