Hi Thomas.  Press the Shift key(s) while running xev to see what key codes
are being generated.  Then, check the outputs of "xmodmap -pk" and
"xmodmap -pm" to see how those key codes are being interpreted and which
keys are being interpreted as Shift modifiers.  To fix the problem, you'll
need to adjust your keymap using xmodmap.  See "man xmodmap" for how to do
this.
