[PyQt] Strange key event problem

Hello all,

On Windows 7, no key press event is generated for Ctrl-), that is,
Ctrl-Shift-0. An event *is* generated for Ctrl-(, that is,
Ctrl-Shift-9.

The keyboard is a Microsoft ergonomic 4000 keyboard. This was such a
strange thing that I tried two other keyboards, with the same results.

This happens when running qt version 4.5.3, Python 2.6.4.

This problem does *not* happen either on Ubuntu or, iirc, on Windows XP.

My app's key handling is very complex, but all the complexity happens
after getting the key event.  Certainly there are no special cases
related to keys for binding the event filter.

This looks to be a bug in Qt or PyQt.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Edward
