[GD-General] A DirectInput problem

Hi,

I have a problem with DirectInput in the August 2007 SDK. A good repro case 
exists in the SDK's samples, just run:

Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 
2007)\Samples\C++\DirectInput\Bin\x86\Keyboard.exe

Create an exclusive, foreground, immediate device.

Now, press W and D at the same time, as if you were moving forward/right in 
a game. Then, while still pressing W and D, press space for a jump. The key 
is correctly detected (Data 0x11 0x20 0x39).

Now however, press S and D at the same time, to move backward/right (Data 
0x1f 0x20). Then press space. The key is not detected, and player can't jump 
while moving backward/right (which is exactly how I found the issue).

Do you see the same thing?
Is that "normal" behaviour? (??)
Any way to fix this?

Thanks for any help....
