Pressing shift causes programs to lose mouse capture #163

Mouse capture is used in games to prevent the mouse cursor from leaving the game window. This bug causes that capture to be lost when the player presses shift. This is particularly an issue with a dual monitor se-up as the mouse can then leave the game window and when you click the game loses focus, making games unplayable.

As a workaround, disable alt-drag while playing a game.

There are several ways:
The best solution is to Add the game exe name into the Processes blacklist available in the Blacklist tab of the config dialog, be careful not to have a space before or after the comma
An other way is to single click on the tray icon in order to disable/enable AltDrag. Once AltDrag is disabled it will no longer interact with anything, and yu can re-enable it with a single click.

AltDrag in theory avoids interaction with full-screen programs, so by default it should behave correctly for video game window that are usually setup full-screen.

The blacklist unfortunately does not work. So disabling it during gaming seems like the only option.
