 Hmm.. do you have a test application I can test? I cannot see the
reason for this in the code. However, XaAES have a bit special handling
of this, because graf_mkstate() have to 'eat' mouse clicks so that old
mouse-events (read by graf_mkstate()) are not erronuously reported (a
second time) when app enters evnt_multi() later. XaAES keeps the kstate
from the moment the mouse-event happened, as it is part of the mouse-
event data, so that if the app is 'lagging' it will get the correct
mstate/kstate. That is, if a user click while holding shift down, then
this is what will be delivered even if it takes some time, and user
releases shiftkey, before the application calls graf_mkstate() or
evnt_multi(). I'm not very good at explaining, hopefully this makes
sense :)
