I notice that Kate has this problem. Pressing the Alt key alone a second time remove the stickiness. KJots does not have this behavior. It seems that KDE is not consistent regarding this behavior.

Subject: Alt key is sticky even though sticky keys is turned off
The
Alt
key
is
sticky
even
though
sticky
keys
is
turned
off
in
kcontrol.
This
has
annoyed
me
for
many
years
so
it
is
about
time
that
I
get
it
fixed.
Whenever
I
accidentally
touch
the
Alt
key
in
any
KDE
program,
the
focus
gets
stuck
in
the
menu
bar.
Also
if
I
want
to
activate
a
menu
and
press
Alt,
but
then
change
my
mind
and
just
release
it
before
pressing
any
letter,
the
focus
is
stuck
in
the
menubar.
Other
programs,
like
Dia,
Thunderbird,
Firefox,
GNOME
GhostView
and
XFig
work
just
fine
in
this
regard.
Only
the
Qt
programs
have
this
undesired
behaviour.
How
is
sticky
alt
turned
off?
