Public bug reported:

I have Alt mapped to my caps lock key like so:

~/.xmodmaprc:
---
clear lock
clear control
clear mod1
clear mod2
clear mod3
clear mod4
clear mod5

keycode 66 = Alt_L
keycode 64 = Control_L
keycode 133 = Meta_L
keycode 108 = Control_R
keycode 135 = Meta_R
keycode 105 = Super_R

add control = Control_L Control_R
add mod1 = Alt_L
add mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R
add mod3 = Super_R
---
xev reports that when I press Caps Lock, the Alt_L event is being called.

However, when I hold Caps Lock and press Tab, the popup for switching
windows does not appear as expected.
