So for example in bash, Alt+b no longer moves back a word, Alt+Backspace no longer deletes a word, etc. These keystrokes now act as if Alt was not pressed. Other libvte-based terminals like xfce4-terminal are not affected. I traced this to the upload of gtk+3.0 3.2.2-0ubuntu1. After downgrading libgtk-3-0, libgail-3-0, libgail-3-common, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, libgtk-3-bin from 3.2.2-0ubuntu1 to 3.2.0-0ubuntu3 and restarting gnome-terminal, the problem goes away.
