Karabiner-Elements: 0.90.84 breaks Fn keys on external bluetooth keyboard

I’ve got Kinessis Freestyler2 Blue keyboard after upgrade to 0.90.70 all hot keys are broken. for example f4 performs volume up. If karabiner is quited everything works as expected. My config is simple

{
    "profiles": [
        {
             "name": "Default profile",
            "selected": true,
            "simple_modifications": {
                "caps_lock": "f19"
            }
        }
    ]
}

yes it is. you are right. however there are some issues still.

Power button does not work on external keyboard.

I recorded all these events when karabiner did not run. When KE runs EvenViewer is empty.

The brightness up/down highly depends on the display hardware. Please upgrade to v0.90.72 and try the apple_display_brightness_decrement and apple_display_brightness_increment in Function Keys tab.

About the caps lock LED, if the caps lock LED is lit up before Karabiner-Elements start, Karabiner-Elements keep the state.
