Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Recently (as of the latest update I did) all Alt+mouse click actions
stopped working on the active window.

I’m not sure how to find all such actions, but the ones I use by reflex
are Alt+left button drag for moving windows and Alt+middle button (click
wheel) drag for resizing windows.

If I try either of those on a window other than the “top” one (the one
that has focus when I start the command), everything works correctly.
However, if I try them on the current window they don’t work. Instead,
the action happens as if the Alt key wasn’t held down. (E.g., if I try
to move a focused terminal window it will select text in the terminal;
if I try to resize the current terminal window I get a “paste” operation
of whatever is currently selected somewhere else, as on a normal middle-
click.)

However, there’s an option that displays the underline below hot-keys in
a menu, e.g. the “F” in file, only when the Alt key is pressed. (I
believe the other options are never and always. I don’t know what piece
of the desktop “owns” that option.) I have that option activated, and it
seems to work in the terminal. When I attempt to do any of the actions I
described above, the underlines are displayed in the menus, which
indicate that the Alt key is detected correctly, it just isn’t acted on
by whatever piece of Compiz should.
