Current Behavior

While typing, i couldn't type the small 'i' key. There was no error, instead the input was simply rejected. when i spammed the key, a notification popped up saying: 'Opposite shift mode is enabled'. Typing the i with either the right or left shift resulted in an error, after which the small i was still rejected.

Unfortunately, i don't know how to reproduce the issue. However, i have had this happen twice before.

Expected Behavior

When typing the small i, it is accepted and i can type the next letter
