At first, I was concerned to see you referring to Microsoft's
implementation. Searching some more I found this, from Gnome:
Turn on sticky keys
"Quickly turn sticky keys on and off
Select Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard (above Sticky
Keys) to turn sticky keys on and off from the keyboard. When this
option is selected, you can press Shift five times in a row to enable
or disable sticky keys."
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.5/a11y-stickykeys.html.en
That help page also mentions a couple of other places to control the
setting.
Not sure if this is exactly the same as your problem, but I had very
similar symptoms. Looking at this documentation, I think my 'Sticky
Keys' event must have been caused by something touching the 'shift'
key during a particularly awkward reshuffle of keyboards and monitor
during installation.
Good luck, Ron
