Hi,

With SDL, unlike GTK, the mouse does not move outside the window. So I
have to use Ctrl-Alt-G to release focus and then click in the other
window. After two switches the reported issue occurs. Indeed, the Alt
key seems to go into a state in which it is stuck. When trying to
exclude my own keyboard being at fault, I've also noticed the right
Alt key on my keyboard cannot be used for the release.

Best,
Howard
