I've posted about something slightly similar many weeks ago (with F13
and F12) with nobody commenting on it. With a combination of at least
Emacs, Firefox, xterm and tvtime running, all of a sudden something
activates the Shift key, and it affects everything I can enter (in the
open apps *and* newly started ones) via the keyboard and the mouse.
Pressing Shift or Shift-lock is no cure, but at least makes it possible
to type in lower-case characters again. ;) Logging out of GNOME and back
in is a quick fix.
