Shift+arrow, shift+del, shift+home not recognized (win 3.3.7)

[Mark Nadig]

I looked at known issues, FAQ and mailing list archive and found a
similar post pasted below for June of '02. The issue is the Shift key
*does* seem to be recognized with the mouse (in Explorer, shift+click
items select multiple items). However, the shift+arrows, home, or delete
keys are not correctly recognized; e.g. In notepad at end of line hit
shift+home and I would expect the entire line to be selected. In
explorer, shift+del should allow "permenant delete" instead of "send to
recycle bin".

Server is Windows 2000 Server. Client is XP Pro.

I read the release notes for beta 4 and it indicates "new keyboard
mapping algorithms". However, I'm not ready to try the beta unless I
know this issue is fixed.

Any workarounds? Thanks,
Mark
