      Is there any way to disable this? It's so annoying, as I configured my windowmanager to use [Alt] for other shortcuts. When will this be fixed?

        I can confirm this on Fedora 23 with Gnome Shell 3.18 but only occurs in Gnome desktop. I don't have any problem with LXQt environment.

          I use awesomeWM. So it's a bug and not a feature?

              Ideally, it should only occur when you tap and release Alt, not when you use Alt as a modifier (hold Alt and press another key). Ideally, but there are a lot of window managers and it doesn't always work as expected.

                Problem occurs when you press Tab-key after pressing Alt-key. Only Opera has this kind of issue and I don't want to remap Alt-Tab just for Opera. I am trying to use Super+Tab but I am not really comfortable with it too.
