Is it that the <ALT> is being ignored, or that <ALT>-M used to be a 
global shortcut for something and it no longer is?  For me, some recent 
updates seem to have removed <ALT>-TAB as the shortcut to select the 
next window.  Just a thought - I know I may well be completely wrong in 
my conclusion.
