Why does X11 generate an extra SHIFT when I press Shift+KP_1 ?

[Lucien Gentis]

Hello Sreyan,

Did you try SHIFT+KP_1 with NumLock disabled ?

I think there is a conflict between Shift and NumLock when used with the 
numeric pad.

xev sees the KeyEvents, but if you press SHIFT+KP_1 with NumLock enabled 
in an application like LibreOffice, or even vi, nothing happens.
