testlib: using b.mouse(..., ctrlKey=True) keeps the ctrl modifier active

[tomasmatus]

Explain what happens

When using b.mouse() with ctrl key modifier in Firefox the modifier is kept active for all future b.mouse() calls.

I am not sure if this is a bug in testlib or something in firefox bidi driver.

Relevant testing farm failure:
https://artifacts.dev.testing-farm.io/650d6b68-b518-414e-9ff2-d2b8f8d73939/

Relevant part of testNavigation:
First in the test ctrl modifier is used

        m.execute("touch /home/admin/newfile.txt")
        b.mouse("[data-item='newfile.txt']", "click", ctrlKey=True)
        b.wait_in_text(".files-footer-info", "2 files selected")
        b.mouse("[data-item='tmplink']", "click", ctrlKey=True)
        b.wait_in_text(".files-footer-info", "3 files selected")

and then later on in the test there is another use of b.mouse this time with ctrlKey=False (default). Testingfarm log shows the test fails here.

        # Navigating resets the current search filter
        b.set_input_text("input[placeholder='Filter directory']", "sys")
        self.browser.wait_js_cond("ph_count('#folder-view tbody tr') == 1")

        b.mouse("[data-item='sys']", "dblclick")
        self.assert_last_breadcrumb("sys")

problem also persists when explicitly setting it to false in the function call.

The bidi input action looks good to me.

Can you reproduce this locally? If so, can you please paste a full run with --trace? I just checked def mouse(), and

        if ctrlKey:
            keys_pre.append(key("keyDown", "Control"))
            keys_post.append(key("keyUp", "Control"))

seems correct to me, I don't see typos. In the log I'd like to see that the "keyUp Control" is actually ran. If so, then it rather smells like a firefox bug. Do you know, is that only Control, or also affects Alt/Shift/Meta?
