** Description changed: [ Impact ] When I short press the shift key on the OSK, it stays set after a letter has been written. It should revert back to unset like e.g. on Android. To get behaviour like Caps-Lock instead, the OSK supports long-pressing the shift key.

The patch only modifies the on-screen-keyboard source code: a regression should only affect the behaviour of the OSK itself. However, in case of unpredictable side-effects GNOME Shell could at worst crash and log-out the user. [ Other info ] The patches from the MR apply and during a short test, the problem has been fixed and my machine did not go up in flames.
