The old code also request the state of the different keys like shift, control, etc. And after the fix we lose this information, probably we should apply it on top of the modifiers?

Another unclear thing is that we use
java_awt_event_InputEvent_BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK which is a mask for InputEvent as modifier for ActionEvent which does not have such mask.
