Short description of error
When I type name of file holding at the same time shift (for capital letters) space symbol won't type.

I cannot reproduce this on the latest Alpha (2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-10 06:44, hash: db9d40b9d3) or Beta (2.92.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-10 00:16, hash: f617782fc1). I can type the space while holding shift. This is on Linux.

I can confirm this problem on windows.
(I'm investigating).

On Windows here and confirming the same behavior, but want to add more detail.

This isn't specific to File Browser or being a separate window. In older versions of Blender, like 2.91, I can change the name of the default cube to "THE CUBE" while holding down "shift" the entire time. Using current master I get "THECUBE" instead if I keep holding shift down. So this involves all text inputs. But note that entering text in "Text Editor" does not exhibit this behavior and I will get "THE CUBE".

This is caused by "Event IME Input Access" (#ifdef WITH_INPUT_IME).
I am not sure what this is for, it seems that it has to do with keyboards in different languages.
Support for this has been added in e81d077c.

Thanks! I can see that now and I think I broke it.

During input (interface_handlers.c, ui_do_but_textedit(), it is checking to see if this is key combination that can be used to switch between different IMEs during non-latin text input. This is just to avoid adding an extra space character when the user is just pressing that to change editors.

But it only does this if IME input is allowed at this time. I made that always true a short time ago with this: https://developer.blender.org/D10268 so that users could enter text using whatever language they have set in the OS, regardless of the blender translation language.

For these two things to work simultaneously, WM_event_is_ime_switch() should only consider oskey+space, ctrl-space, and alt-space, and NOT shift-space.
