Keys get stuck

As was the case in 1.8, if I am holding down letters, and then switch to another window, the keys can be stuck permanently playing and permanently highlighted, which is a quite problematic bug if one is trying to tweak parameters while playing. It's good that 1.9 has a release stuck keys option; but it'd be better if the keys were not stuck in the first place.

Here's one way to replicate this behavior in 1.9. Fire up both 1.8 and 1.9. Put their windows next to each other. Mash a bunch of notes repeatedly in 1.9 using with letters on the laptop. While doing so, switch to the 1.8 window. Do this a few times and you'll get things stuck in 1.9.

Yeah, the clear stuck keys option was just a quick workaround.
