This was hopefully addressed in CVS on 2004/11/04 and made it into release 0.9.4.
The problem originates when 'Command' is assigned to an "alt/opt" key on the keyboard that sends 'alt' when shift not depressed, and 'opt' when depressed.  (Many Apple USB keyboards have this feature.)

You prboably need to set the default GSModifiersAreKeys to YES, as in:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSModifiersAreKeys YES

If I press Shift (and keep it down), then Command (and keep it down), then 'q', the library thinks I'm pressing Shift+q, but I'm pressing Shift+Command+q !!

I tend to press Shift before Command when I build this sequence of keypresses and the library is totally broken if it can't cope with it.

It used to work.

There are other bugs, for example if I press 'Command + Shift + l', then I raise the Command but keep the Shift pressed, then I press k, the library thinks I'm now pressing Command + Shift + k, but Command is no longer pressed so the library is wrong!

It looks like the library can't cope with raising and pressing Command while Shift is pressed.

This used to work so this is a regression.
