Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The stuck shift key was reported upstream years ago.
Apple's fork of xephyr fixed this years ago.
Once the shift key is stuck, one must close and restart
Xephyr (and of course everything running in it) to recover.
Can you please try to backport Apple's fix?
Thanks

Package: xserver-xephyr
...
After using the caps lock key a few times, I get stuck in caps mode
# ^ please note that it looks like caps lock is stuck, but
it DOES happen even if you never touch caps lock.
possibly related bug:
stuck alt/ctrl keys after running Xephyr, long standing issues are involved.
work around is to disable compiz for now.
