Video of the Shift key switching away from the Text Tool mid-typing

SUMMARY
Sometimes when creating/editing text Krita the program won't ignore Canvas Input and Shortcut modifiers (e.g. Shift when trying to write capital letters). This causes Krita to execute shortcuts instead of writing text as intended.  During my quick testing I unfortunately wasn't able to reproduce this consistently.

Attached is a video recording of the bug, along with additional system info. In the video I'm trying to write "Hello World", and as I have Shift assigned to the Line Tool and Shift+W assigned to toggling Wrap Around Mode you can see these being enabled as I'm trying to type.

This was tested with Qt Platform Name:  "wayland".
