Bug Description

I have my power settings set to suspend when my laptop lid is closed. I also use sticky keys, set to not disable when two keys are pressed together

After I close the lid and then open it up again, the first character I type is shifted. (So usually my password is rejected unless I hit SHIFT first). The problem goes away if I disable Sticky Keys before closing the lid. If I press SHIFT just before closing the lid, then the first character I type post-suspend is not shifted. When I simply lock the session, I don't experience this behavior.

It therefore appears that on suspend, the SHIFT active bit is somehow being toggled.

I realize this is probably an upstream bug, but as I don't have gnome-settings-daemon installed and I don't know the right version to report to them, I thought I'd report here first.

System info:
- Ubuntu: 16.04
- unity-settings-daemon: 15.04.1+16.04.20160701-0ubuntu1
- system: ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd gen
