ahistlineedit in ksirc may be a bit fishy and odd, but the underlying
problem isn't there.  The reason ksirc acts funny under shift-key
combination is due to it receive 2 events for every key press.

I've dumped the events out and tried to find any differences in them but I
can't.  My first guess at a work around was to filter out one of them, but
I can't.  This multiple accel events is a bug somewhere higher up in kde.

Shift-backspace is simply an example, presumably it's supposed to work
just like backspace.  Try shift-left shift-right, etc.  Hard to select 1
character that way.  Shift-ins is even more fun.

The patch seems to work, it solves the problem for now in kSirc.
