[Laszlo-dev] UPDATED For Review: Change 20090203-hqm-r, Summary: Fix for missing key up events in swf runtime

[P T Withington]

I'm tempted to agree so long as you are careful to insert ctrl-down  
before any subsequent key-down where you find control is still set.   
And maybe you should not do any insertion if the other key is only a  
modifier key?  Consider shift chords that are modifying a mouse gesture.
