I just tested my installed server and it generates the keyrelease events
for mode_switch. The Version is quite old (around test 23) but if you have
not change a lot with the keyboard code, it should work with newer versions

Ok, I just downloaded test37 and I'll check it out too.
Same again. The Key Release is send.
Maybe the keyboardhandling is slightly different for the US/International
keyboards or you noticed some timeing problems.
