[Bug] Possible stuck/lost key-up events affecting games and shortcuts ( #308

@Lunardis

Description

@Lunardis

This appears very similar to issue #296:

In my case, the problem is not limited to Alt+Tab. It also affects normal movement keys (WASD) and keyboard shortcuts.

Environment:

  • macOS Tahoe 26
  • Second Life
  • Cotabby running in background

Observed behavior:

  • W/A/S/D movement keys can remain logically pressed after release

  • Character continues walking or rotating after key release

  • Key release sometimes appears delayed

  • Some shortcuts behave inconsistently or appear to trigger twice

    Example:

    • Command+Shift+4 (CleanShot) occasionally opens and immediately closes again, almost like modifier/key state became desynchronized

This feels very similar to the stuck key behavior already described in #296, just triggered through different key combinations and continuous movement input instead of Alt+Tab specifically.

Important:

  • Only happens while Cotabby is running
  • Reproduced even with other keyboard/input tools disabled
  • Problem disappears when Cotabby is closed
