This steals focus and disrupts the workflow quite severely. This was much worse in earlier Unity versions, 5.8 already made this a lot better. But this case still remains for me. When I leave some time (0.5 s or so) between pressing Alt and the cursor key, this does not happen. But when pressing them almost at the same time, the bug happens. I can reproduce this 100%, so feel free to ask for any additional debugging info. The problem is not that I hit the Cursor key before alt. This proves it: $ xev | grep -A2 ^KeyPress KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0xbe, subw 0x0, time 17590219, (112,69), root:(113,867), state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, -- KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0xbe, subw 0x0, time 17590299, (112,69), root:(113,867), state 0x8, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES, and I get the HUD. It does not matter which application/window is focussed. It happens in gnome-terminal, Firefox, or the blank desktop all alike. It does not happen with other Alt key combinations, just with the cursor keys. I also saw this happen quite a lot with Ctrl+Alt (controlling screen grab in KVM) or Ctrl+Alt+Cursor (changing workspaces), but I cannot reliably reproduce those.
