Alt+F1 keypresses not always captured, leak to apps

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

open a terminal
press and hold ALT+F1 (which should toggle on/off the BFB)
Observe a lot of ;3P in the terminal

Here's a video about it :)

[Gord Allott (gordallott)]

seems like an old(is) compiz bug related to the tap handling

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

Since it is also related to compiz, I am marking this bug affects the package compiz-core as well.

Can't reproduce

Bzzzt. Wrong. Can reproduce.

I have similar problems: Sometimes Alt+F4 is not working. If it is not working, it keeps not working till I restart Compiz, similarly, if it is working, it keeps working until I restart Compiz.

Quick addendum: I'm using Compiz 0.9.13.1 in Manjaro Xfce.
