BTW It loose focus everytime I just touch Alt

We just released v1.27.3 - please let us know if it still happens there.

Same

Looks like this is a known Electron bug: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11106

This also happens on ubuntu/gnome 19.10 (Signal version v1.27.4). Issue significantly impacts usability for me

After investigating I see that workaround, described in https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11106#issuecomment-441350115 is not work, so Electron 6.0 release produce new regression, and I post separate issue about this: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/22213

Hope that it will be fixed quicker in separate thread!

I would like to clarify the steps to reproduce. pressing alt then shit then releasing alt first will cause the issue, the issue does not occur when releasing shift first.

this issue is originating from electron as can be seen in these issues:
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11106
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/22213

The two upstream electron issues were closed, here is the new one.
