This says that pressing both keys was correctly received. The problem is that afterwards, after detection, something, a keymap, is translating the input to something different.

<SPACE> or "␣" (OPEN BOX) produces different actions in different modes. Do you know dired or read-only buffers? Dired, C-x d, is a directory viewer. <SPACE> does a next or C-n, down one line/file/directory, and  <S-SPACE> or <⇧SPACE> performs previous or C-p, up one line/file/directory.

When in dired-mode on some text or graphics file (with 100 or more lines) you can visit it in read-only mode by pressing "v". With <SPACE> or <⇧SPACE> you scroll up or down the contents, with "q" you quit, close the buffer.

Can you check in which particular mode <SPACE> does not work? In calendar-mode <SPACE> is "scroll-other-window (up)". Have you assigned new bindings to modifier keys? Shift is one of them…
