I fixed the problem.
Looks like I am pressing Shift button for time more than 10 seconds, when I thinking.
Slow Keys are enabled after such type of Shift pressing.
Accessibility and Show Keys are denied in my system, but because of bugs in some desktop environments (such as xfce4), these settings are ignored.
So solution is to add such script in autostart after graphical login to Xfce:

 xkbset -sl # Disable slow keys (if already active).
 xkbset -a # Disable accessibility to prevent it from switching on.

Don't forget to install xkbset before this.

To detect problem existance in your system dissable Accessibility in gui setting and then run:
xkbset q | grep "Accessibility Features"

If "On" then you have the problem.
