Karabiner-elements: 'Shift + Click' or 'Command + Click' won't work when using Karabiner-Elements

[funatsufumiya]

I recently updated my Mac OS X to macOS Sierra 10.12. So I installed Karabiner-Elements instead of Karabiner and Seil, but I couldn't use shift + click or command + click after lauching Karabiner-Elements.

My ~/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json file is like below.

{
    "profiles": [
        {
            "name": "Default profile",
            "selected": true,
            "simple_modifications": {
                "caps_lock": "left_command"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Now I removed Karabiner-Elements.app but It still won't work, so I also removed /Library/Application\ Support/org.pqrs/Karabiner-Elements then shift + click worked properly.

Should have been fixed by https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/issues/5, but I saw this issue again on 0.90.40.

i'm experiencing the same thing. shift-click does not work as expected in adobe illustrator, for example: the shift key is essentially ignored when trying to constrain drawing or toggle selection.

here's my configuration file:

{
    "profiles": [
        {
            "name": "Default profile",
            "selected": true,
            "simple_modifications": {
                "right_option": "fn"
            }
        }
    ]
}

I just upgraded to Karabiner Elements 0.90.44, shit-click and cmd-click worked again.

Looks like #5 is still not fully fixed. Randomly, after many hours of work, it sometimes stops working. Turning Karabiner Elements off and on again fixes it for some time, but it breaks again after a couple of hours.

I'm still seeing this on 0.90.46, particularly when trying to select multiple files in Finder, i.e. it works for a while but then at some point stops working. Quitting the app works as mentioned.
