KeyLocation bug in KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP for shift keys

Question

Hi There everyone
I have discovered a bug with KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP keyLocation values for the shift keys.
how to reproduce this :
1.when no other keys are down the value for left shift is 1 and for right shift is 2 for  KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and  KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP
2. when you have pressed shift and then press another key -  when releasing shift the value for left and right become 0.
There is absolutely no reason why these values should report anything other then what they initially reported on key down as each key fires its own event with details for each , regardless of any key combinations.
Im using cs5.5 windows 7 basic.
can anyone else verify this so a bug can be logged?
Thanks

var isActivateKeyListener:Boolean = false;
function activateKeyListener($state:Boolean) {
if ($state) {
if (!isActivateKeyListener) {
isActivateKeyListener = true;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyReleased);
}else {
if (isActivateKeyListener) {
isActivateKeyListener = false;
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyReleased);
function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace("keyPressed: event.keyCode:" + event.keyCode + " charCode:" + event.charCode + " shift:" + event.shiftKey + " keyLocation:" + event.keyLocation)
function keyReleased(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace("keyReleased: event.keyCode:" + event.keyCode + " charCode:" + event.charCode + " shift:" + event.shiftKey + " keyLocation:" + event.keyLocation)
activateKeyListener(true);
