[PyQt] How to catch Shift+Ctrl+key in keyPressEvent?

I've reimplemented a QTextEdit's keyPressEvent:

[code]
class MyTextEdit(QTextEdit):
   def __init__(self, *args):
   QTextEdit.__init__(self, *args)

   keyPressedSignal = pyqtSignal(int, bool, bool)

   def keyPressEvent(self, event):
      shift = False
      ctrl = False
      if (event.modifiers() & Qt.ShiftModifier):
         shift = True
      if (event.modifiers() & Qt.ControlModifier):
         ctrl = True
      self.keyPressedSignal.emit(event.key(), shift, ctrl)
[/code]

It catches either Shift or Ctrl but not both. Any idea how to catch both
Shift and Ctrl modifiers? Thank you.

PS. This code doesn't work only in Windows, in Linux it works fine, both
Shift and Ctrl are caught. Is this a bug or just the way the OSs work?
