Right, it's just that the E I tried in debian-unstable went into some bad
CPU loop if I used right alt + e.
Reverting to old E made this go away.
It's definitely doing something wrong.
Did you want my Xmodmap again to try it out?

Correct. That bug has been around in E for quite a while now, although
chrome might be partially to blame, but with older E it never happens.
Fix: Ctrl+T forces that sticky chrome window stuck to my mouse pointer, to
open a new tab, and then things fix themselves.

Ah yes, I had this too, but again only with more recent E.
Downgrading E made this problem go away too.
Definitely an interaction between the 2.

Agreed.
