Modifier keys, such as the Windows/Super key or more importantly the Alt key, are no longer prevented from performing actions on the desktop that cause the game to minimize. Those keys in particular open parts of the Ubuntu dashboard, which is now causing the game to minimize.

This issue appeared around the end of April, and happens in both Dota 2 and CSGO. I'm unsure whether it's game or steam client related though, but there is a report for this on the Dota 2 tracker as well [bug #1740](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1740).

This may potentially be related to the issues fixed in #3811 as they started happening at the same time.
