Chrome OS: Alt+Search sometimes toggles CapsLock when it shouldn't

Project Member Reported by yusukes@chromium.org, Mar 22 2017 
Chrome Version       : 59.0.3041.0
OS Version: 9375.0.0 test

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Open NTP and:

1. Press Alt
2. Press Search
3. Press 1
4. Release 1
5. Release Search
6. Release Alt

What is the expected result?

CapsLock is NOT toggled since Alt+Search+1 is not the accelerator for toggling CapsLock.


What happens instead of that?

At step #5, CapsLock is toggled.

afakhry@, please triage this too.

BTW, it looks like Alt+Search is the only modifier-only accelerator left (well, except for "Search" only accelerator.) Shouldn't we use another, regular accelerator for CapsLock since modifier-only (and trigger-on-release) accelerators are known to be difficult to handle correctly?

Note: this does not reproduce when Ctrl and Search are swapped and Ctrl is used in the repro steps.

I have a fix for  Issue 704280 , but it doesn't work for problem shown in comment#0. There is a hardware issue when it comes to Alt+Search+1, which results in the key press for '1' not showing up entirely. This was very well explained by rspangler@ in b/34050823 as "keyboard ghosting".

I de-duped  Issue 704280  from this one, and will mark this one as External Dependency (b/34050823).
