Description bonsairobo 2013-07-25 15:46:07 UTC 
I haven't tested this on any other OS. Even with a window that should be grabbing keyboard and mouse input, the ALT and SUPER keys bring you out of the SDL window. I don't know if this is an intentional design or not, but it seems odd considering ALT-TAB does NOT work with input grabbed.

This is a "feature" of the Unity window manager, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Sorry!
