This sounds strangely familiar. On my Milan I have a problem with
"stuck" keys, as if no break-code was received. Since the Milan doesn't
handle key repeat itself (this is done by the keyboard), I don't get
constantly repeated keys. But when this happens to a modifier, then the
modifier is "stuck" until I press it again.

I am using a self-made Atari->PS/2 keyboard adapter though, so most
likely this is a problem with my adapter.

An empty group-file, perhaps it doesn't handle this correctly. I can't
remember if I've ever tested this. Try one of these:

1) Add this line immediately after the INFO-line:
OFIL "Testing" c:\nothing.prg ""

2) or just delete the group-file.

Isn't that just support for the Eiffel scrollwheel extension?
