--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick <o.dierick at piezo-forte.be> ---
Hello,

I think I've experienced this issue since forever.

I remember reading somewhere an explanation that wine cannot update the key
state once alt-tab is pressed because the WM catches the key release and
doesn't inform Wine. Wine still thinks that alt is pressed. when returning to
the wine window, wine still thinks the alt key is pressed and every key stroke
is alt'ed. In the case of pressing 'enter' this make it do alt+enter (usually
bound to windowed/fullscreen switch). Pressing other keys give other undesired
results depending on alt+key bindings in the application. Pressing and
releasing alt while the wine window is active resets the key state and fixes
the issue temporarily until the user alt-tab out and in again.

Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got that and don't have a reference at
hand.

This issue has been reported as bug 35976.

It is possible that the issue depends on the Window Manager/Desktop Environment
behavior, so adding that information to the existing bug may be useful.

Regards.
