The usual fixing sequence is to remove all extensions, then add them  
one by one (or in small groups), until the odd behaviour shows up again.

Extensions Manager is helpful here, hold down space to get there  
early in the boot sequence.

I don't know either, but one of the extensions possibly picks the  
keys up and changes it's behaviour accordingly. Booting with  
extensions off would be shift key only.
