Bug Description

I've mapped Alt_Gr and ';' to Mode_switch with xmodmap

keycode 47 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch
keycode 108 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch

Alt_Gr works as expected, ';' works well only when used by itself.
When used with Ctrl or Shift, sometimes(especially when the non-modifier key is tapped quickly)
the keyboard sticks as if mode_switch caps lock was turned on.
Now to type the regular keys I'd have to hold Mode_switch.

To reproduce the bug:
Hold Ctrl+; and tap a letter key quickly. After few trys the Mode_switch will stick.
