Karabiner-elements: Shift + any key binding not working

[thamaraiselvam]

When karabiner enabled Shift + any key binding is not working.

For example

• shift + esc to read all messages on slack.
• shift + f6 to rename variable in IDEA Inteliji

If I disable Karabiner then it works.

I have only CAPS LOCK + hjkl to arrow keys rule in Complex Modification.

No other rules added nowhere and also I can confirm the pressing keys using karabiner event viewer.

Left Shift
