[wgpgcsph] Workaround for nonsticky shift in Connectbot

On Motorola Droid 4 using its physical keyboard, in the Irssi ConnectBot Android SSH app, the Shift key occasionally stops being sticky, i.e., one needs to hold down Shift and simultaneously press the other key to get capital letters and yellow symbols.

Serendipitously discovered workaround: logout and quit the app (it helps to have been working in a screen session so as not to lose where you were).  Restart the app into a "local" connection.  (I use a shortcut widget.). Type "exit;" into the local terminal, where the final semicolon is simply to verify that Shift sticky again.
