It is not the emulator's problem, it is the problem that your keyboard cannot send all possible combinations of buttons (in general, if you hold down too many at a time, it stops registering new ones, and how many is too many depends on the keyboard and which buttons) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key)

If you're skeptical if it's the emulator's fault or not, you can test in notepad. If you hold down three buttons and notepad immediately reacts to the third one being held down, then your keyboard is working fine. Try different combinations if vAB doesn't work. Like vZX or vQW or vTY. There should be a combination somewhere that works.
