            Bug ID: 172299
           Summary: Web Automation: characters produced with shift
                    modifier on QWERTY keyboard should be delivered as
                    shift-down, char-down, char-up, shift-up events
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2

Currently, we deliver this as keydown(A), keyup(A) but WebDriver tests expect this to be delivered as keydown(SHIFT), keydown(A), keyup(A), keyup(SHIFT) if the shift modifier is not already set via an earlier key press. Note that this means the text HELLO would keydown/keyup the shift key 5 times, because it's not sustained across keystrokes (even if a user might type it that way).
