I’m using Key.getCode to tell me when a key is released. however, if I press the LEFT key and then, while holding that key down, I press the SPACE key - when I release either Key, it only tells me the first one I released, instead of both of them.

example: I hold down LEFT, then hold SPACE, then release SPACE and it gives me the code, then release LEFT and it does nothing like I never pressed it.

any ideas? Any way to get around this?
