It sounds like the person you spoke with wasn't familiar with the product. They've been aware of the problem for years. It's mentioned in the manual [1] and on their website [2].

Ah! Thank you! I've had this issue from time to time. I thought it is probably a software thing, not the keyboard.

Thanks to the link you've sent I now have a simple solution - tap both shift keys at once.. Great!

No problem. :)

You can also use <Stuck Key> + <Program> in cases where you only have instance of the stuck key. Alt or super in the default layout, for example.
