Hi Mario,
Would you give something a try for me. I recently had another user point out something to me. If you search "pen settings" in the search bar (cortana) and switch the setting from left to right (or vise versa) this can have a really positive impact on the consistency of some of these issues.

Hi everyone!
I have some information to share on this matter.
(Actually I was breaking my head but now that I read your question things I made some tests and some things became clear)
I have 2 Surface Pros (1st version. Short story: one of them has a defective usb port and I ended up with two.)
One of them runs Windows 8.1, which I like a lot, the other one runs Windows 10.
ON THE SURFACE PRO/WINDOWS 10, with TABLETPRO 2.0.0.1,
* Set to Right-Handed writing:
- When Artist Pad is on LEFT side if the screen, shift/ctrl/alt buttons don't work exactly as expected.
When hovering the pen over the screen, pressing SHIFT or any button makes cursor (the typical dot) to dissappear for a second, then an arrow cursor will show up. The first CLICK will be lost - for instance, if I select an item on a folder, then press SHIFT or CTRL and select another item, I would expect adding the new items to the selection. INstead, the selection gets cleared.
-When Artist Pad is on RIGHT, everything works fine. That is: the 'dot' is always on the screen, and when you press a button, it stays there and the 'SHIFT' or 'CTRL' tooltip shows up below. No selection is lost.
- This changes according to the Left/Right Handed selection, that is, if Windows is set to LEFT HANDED and the Artist Pad is on the LEFT, it works fine.
ON SURFACE PRO/ WIN 8.1: Everything works right (although installed version there is TabletPro 2.0.0.0 (beta 49).
