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

[Sreyan Chakravarty]

Sorry to have been a bother. I have inadvertently solved my own issue. And
the issue was Oracle VirtualBox. I am writing this from a live boot on
Manjaro i3 and everything works as expected. No weird or mysterious
keystrokes in xev. Thank you for all you help. I am sorry to have bothered
you with this.
