Public bug reported:

To reproduce:

1. Open "Universal Access" and activate "Sticky keys" under the "Typing" tab.
2. Open a terminal. Press and release shift, then press "A" twice. Observe that 
the First A gets capitalized, and the second doesn't. In other words the shift 
"stuck" until the first A was pressed, then disabled. That's the expected 
behavior.
3. Press and release Alt. Observe that dragging inside the terminal moves the 
window as Alt+mouse drag moves windows. Release the mouse button and drag 
again...

What does happen:

It still moves the window.

What should happen:
It should drag out a selection in the terminal, just as is normal for dragging 
in a terminal without any modifiers. 

The first mouse button release should cancel the stickyness of the Alt
key, just as a keyrelease would do.

History:
I've seen the this bug in previous Ubuntu releases, and I'm not the only one as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/415685 
attests. I'm sure it started out working correctly when I started using 
stickykeys, then having the current faulty behavior, get fixed and then regress 
again now. I'm not sure about the exact releases, but I'm absolutely positive 
that it worked correctly in 12.04.

I have 2 different laptops that had it working in 12.04 and both have
the current bug in 13.04. Sadly I upgraded both directly from 12.04 to
12.10 to 13.04, so I didn't notice whether the problem exists in 12.10.
