4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 has annoying bug, FocusOut event happens instead KeyRelease. I'm using wmaker, defined shortcut alt-tab (or meta4-tab, doesn't matter what metakey) to 'focus next window'. but since 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 works fine, just did downgrade) it acts this way (according xev):

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x71, subw 0x0, time 107725, (535,-210), root:(962,483),
    state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x71, subw 0x0, time 107892, (535,-210), root:(962,483),
    state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

alt work fine


KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x71, subw 0x0, time 109027, (535,-210), root:(962,483),
    state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "     "

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x71, subw 0x0, time 109139, (535,-210), root:(962,483),
    state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "     "

tab works fine


KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    root 0x71, subw 0x0, time 110017, (535,-210), root:(962,483),
    state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

FocusOut event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

...but combo does not 

now its in stage where i can click like madman on appicons, windows, menus but nothing happens, but after pressing and releasing any metakey it will execute all mouse events made since FocusOut
