How to workaround key down bug?

I posted a bug about an issue Im having with key is down events.

If you hold a key down, and then click an input box, the key is down will continue to think that the key is being held down.

Does anyone have any workaround for this?

I need a way to cancel the key is down event so that it stops firing- and to cancel it when an input gains focus. :\</p>

The workaround is to not use any Form Control objects. There are lots of issues with them.

You can make your own custom text input box:

I believe it's mainly an issue of how the keydown events are implemented in construct- they don't account for this scenario and cancel appropriately like they ought to.
