 Take the key to the left of "1" (varies depending on layout).

 Under sugar, in a terminal or write activity or similar: Hold left shift
 and HOLD the key in question. Release the key in question after a few
 seconds - note that the character only appears on-screen when you release
 the key.

 Now do the same with right shift. The character appears on press (rather
 than on release).

 Same thing for the key to the right of ":" on a US keyboard.

 The problem does not happen on a physical terminal, implying an X or evdev
 bug.
