This also affects Fcitx, causes a serious problem.
When editing the preedit text, pressing Alt key unwantedly commits the
string, so certain keybindings like Alt+A cannot be used.

Bug description:
If Alt-key is assigned to HUD, Alt key doesn't work correctly in some
applications.
For example, Blender doesn't accept Alt key press at all. See a bug
report in Blender bug tracker for detail:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498&aid=33831&group_id=9
When pressing Alt key, Blender receives unnecessary FocusOut and
FocusIn events, so Blender immediately forgets the Alt key is pressed
down. Blender developer was very angry with Unity's such strange
behavior.
In Emacs, after select a region, Alt key press sometimes cancels the
selection unexpectedly, so I can do nothing in the region.
Unity 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 12.10 amd64
