Public bug reported:

I am using the KDE desktop with Wayland.
For the keyboard I have enabled the compatibility option "Shift cancels Caps 
Lock".
I am using virt-manager to start a virtual machine with a desktop using spice 
for the graphics output.

When pressing the shift key in the VM it does not behave as expected but
seems to activate Caps Lock within the VM.

The issue has already been observed by other users:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kvm/comments/1dpoxza/shift_key_stuck_in_vm/

The problem does not occur in an X11 session.
The problem does not occur with Wayland if "Shift cancels Caps Lock" is 
deactivated. 

To get started with understanding the problem probably tracing the key
events received by spice would help.
