just tested with firefox. what firefox does is that when you press the
alt key it closes the menu hence releasing the grab. In unity alt is
used for different purposes.

Title:
  Shortcuts - shortcuts don't work when application indicators are
  visible

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Shortcuts will not work with:
  - open application indicators (e.g. switch user account, time and date 
settings, etc)
  - opened sound level bar in movie player and similar stuff from other apps.
  - opened dash home
  - etc.

  This bug blocks an efficient work proces for the user and the usage of
  shortcuts is no longer predictable. Also the chance it occurs is
  pretty high.

  * Steps to reproduce

  Open a windowed app (e.g. firefox)
  Show desktop using the shortcut ctrl-alt-d
  Maximize the windowed app again (e.g. firefox)
  Left click on 'time and date' in the upper right corner (leave the 
application indicator opened)
  Show desktop using the shortcut ctrl-alt-d

  * Expected behavior

  The windows app is minimized.

  * Current behavior

  Nothing happens (the windowed app is not minimized)
