[Windows Desktop] A KeyUpEvent is dispatched, but the state shows that the physical key is not pressed. #98071

Description

@tgucio

This issue is related to #97789. In a similar monkey keyboard test under Windows, occasionally asserts are seen and Shift key gets stuck (seen as changing text selection as mouse button is clicked over the text field).

keyboard

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Execute flutter run on the code sample (just a text field)
  2. Run a "monkey keyboard stress test" pressing left and right Shift, Alt, Windows, Ctrl buttons with some keys that produce text - completely randomly and often pressing multiple buttons at a time.

Expected results: Shift key keeps working normally, no asserts

Actual results: Shift key gets stuck, asserts

Code sample
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.blue),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() { _counter++; });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text(widget.title)),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            const Text('You have pushed the button this many times:'),
            Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
            ),
            const Expanded(
              child: TextField(maxLines: null),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}
