Description Frida Flodin cendio 2025-01-17 10:33:10 CET 
Tested on macOS 15.2 and Safari. 

1. Press ⌘ key.
2. Press and release V key.
3. Release ⌘ key.
4. I notice that V key never got an release event.

I could see the missed release event with xev, but I could not reproduce the repeated 'v' print as in the upstream report [1].

Tested this after the noVNC vendor drop.

Now, pressing down a key while holding down the ⌘ key will cause a release event to occur instantly. This is not perfect, but an acceptable workaround.
