Description
When I press the right shift key, get-key-code produces 'rshift, but when I release the same key it produces 'shift. I think get-key-release-code should return 'rshift in this situation.
This is on Windows using DrRacket, version 8.0.0.11--2021-03-15(c0cfd32/a) [cs].

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows keyboard behavior in DrRacket, comparing get-key-code with get-key-release-code for the right Shift key. The issue is done when releasing right Shift returns 'rshift consistently, matching the press event; also review the related issue for context.
