I did post the unfiltered output but it got scrubbed.
This is my unfiltered output:
IT SEEMS THE MOMENT I PRESS KP_1 WITH SHIFT A RELEASE EVENT IS GENERATED
FOR MY SHIFT KEY EVEN BEFORE THE KEY PRESS FOR KP_1 IS REGISTERED AND WHEN
I RELEASE KP_1 A PRESS EVENT IS GENERATED.
IT IS ALMOST AS IF MY XKB CONFIGURATION FORBIDS SHIFT+KP_1 NO MATTER WHAT I
DO.

This is the weirdest thing I have seen. What is causing this ?
How can I view my current keyboard layout and the rules set in that layout
for modifiers ?
