Duplicates: #34659

%%%Steps to reproduce:
0) Load factory settings.

Hit - - to trackball rotate the default cube to a funky angle.
Hit [Alt+Space]- to change the Orientation to "Normal".
Hit [Numpad 7] to see the Top View.
Hit [Left Shift+Numpad 7] to see (what should be) the Normal's Top View.
Hit [Right Shift+Numpad 7] to (definitely) see the Normal's Top View.

Good:
On Windows 7 32bit r42615 (blender.org official build), Step 4 shows the same view as Step 5.

Hitting [Numpad 7] calls bpy.ops.view3d.viewnumpad(type='TOP', align_active=False)
Hitting [Left Shift+Numpad 7] calls with align_active=True

On Linux 64 bit r43488 we see the same, correct behavior.

Bad:
On Windows 7 32 bit r43283 (graphicall.org build), Step 4 shows the same view as Step 3.

Hitting [Numpad 7] or [Left Shift+Numpad 7] calls with align_active=False
Hitting [Right Shift+Numpad 7] calls with align_active=True

On Windows 7 bit r43479 (homemade MinGW + SCons build)

Same behavior as r43283

The "User Preferences... > Input" bindings look identical for working and non-working versions.

Something else is messing with the Left Shift key's functionality.

%%%Can't notice unexpected behavior. Maybe it's something to with keymaps+preset fixes. Can you please check builds from http://builder.blender.org/download/ ?%%%

%%%Sergey,

Yes, I tried it on: blender-2.61-r43577-win32 , and got the same (bad) result.

Another data point: I see the same things when hitting the keys in the System Console with blender -d running:
pass on evt 217 val 1 # for Left Shift
pass on evt 216 val 1 # for Right Shift

So the User Preferences are the same, the "pass on evt" are the same, but bad results with the newer builds.%%%

%%%recall windows cant do shift+numpad, thaught we had some workaround but looking at view3d_keymap it seems not.%%%

%%%Campbell,

Actually, on 2.61-official, it works fine for me.

Also, if I use Right Shift instead of Left Shift it works on all builds I've tried.

%%%That should be OK that left and right shift has got different codes. And everything works fine here on windows 7 64 bit with both left and right shift.
Maybe resetting to factory settings will help?%%%

%%%Yes, I mean to say that in the correct functioning versions, the "evt" codes are the exact same as the incorrect functioning version.

By "reset to factory settings" do you simply mean "File > Load Factory Settings"? I have done that, and it is the same.

%%%Well, as Campbell told there were some issues with Shift-Numpad combinations caused by windows crappiness, so the same event value for shift key doesn't actually mean the same code sequence came to blender when pressing Shift-Numpad7. What might be interesting to test is enable "Emulate Numpad" in User Preferences -> Input and hit Left Shift-7 and see if it works.%%%

%%%Great question---Emulate Numpad hadn't even crossed my mind.

Yes, hitting Shift-7 ("&") works --- it causes the Transform Orientation to be used instead of the Global.

I should roll up my sleeves and get into the event handling code to figure out what is going on. I haven't had the time, yet.%%%

%%%Hehe... no.

Remember: I can get both shifts to work in 2.61-official, and I can get Right shift to work in SVN buidls.%%%

%%%Another user on IRC ran into this problem (and the exact workaround of using right-shift was required).

She is on 2.62-official, Win7 64 bit.

...so now I know I'm not going crazy.%%%

%%%AGREED : Same problem here. Builds 44136(win32xp) official and official testbuild (45364) win32xp
I heard about this feature and could not get it to work for me! I use right shift for that. I got a logitec remote keyboard but I am pretty sure that's irrelevant! lol
Ryan King is right.%%%

%%%I also remember someone added a fix for numpad+shift for windows, but it is possible that unicode support has disabled it again.

Unassigning this one - we need a windows dev to tackle it. Will ask around.%%%
