When listening for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event in FF4 in Flash Player (my testing was done with a swf generated with Flex 3.5 sdk) the keyCode property of the generated KeyboardEvent is not equal to the Keyboard.SHIFT constant.

This occurs only on Mac. My testing was done on Mac OS X 10.6 (and various Windows builds, but the windows tests did not have this problem).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create simple flex app with a component like a Textinput. Attach a listener for KeybaordEvent.KEY_DOWN event. trace the value of the keyCode property of the generated event.
2. Run app.
3. Press shift key and look at the outputted value for the keyCode property.
Actual Results:  
keyCode property value other than 16 (value of Keyboard.SHIFT constant on my Mac)

Expected Results:  
16 (value of Keybaord.SHIFT on my Mac).
