p5.js version

1.11.3

Web browser and version

Firefox 135.0 / Chromium 133

Operating system

Linux 6.13.2

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Press key d
2. Press and then release key a
3. Release key d. In keyReleased key will be equal to a, though ev.key will be correct (d).

This happens since 1.11.3. In 1.11.2 and before everything works correctly.

There's also an issue with keyPressed in Firefox (not in Chromium). It fires continuously while a key is pressed, not just once. It is probably linked to this issue, since it started happening in 1.11.3, I don't know if I should create a new issue about that too.

Snippet:

function keyPressed(ev) {
	console.log(`pressed ${ev.key} (p5.key = ${key})`);
}

function keyReleased(ev) {
	console.log(`released ${ev.key} (p5.key = ${key})`);
}

Start by running the provided keyPressed/keyReleased snippet with p5.js 1.11.3, comparing Firefox and Chromium and the 1.11.2 behavior. Trace the event-handling entry points for keyPressed and keyReleased, then verify that p5.key matches the released event's key and that keyPressed does not repeat unexpectedly in Firefox.
