Confirmed. Unfortunately Alt presently triggers an active synchronous
keyboard grab, in order to tell the difference between Alt taps and
Alt+other_key. This grab sends events causing the current widget to lose
focus.
The only two solutions to this bug I can think of are:
1. Don't bind the lone "Alt" key to the HUD in Unity 5. This is a Unity
team design decision.
2. Rewrite the tapping detection in compiz to not use active grabs.
Unfortunately I have tried this several times over the past month and
again today and not yet succeeded.
