I don't think the original bug should be fixed as written. On both Mac and 
Windows the platform drag-and-drop system consumes all key events (well, on the 
Mac we see some `keyUp:` events but not for modifiers). That's a good thing, it 
prevents the user from invoking shortcuts that might close the app or source 
window. I don't see why Linux should be any different. It would be very odd for 
a UI toolkit to allow key events through during drag-and-drop and even odder if 
that only happened on one platform.

Whoever reported that bug has a problem they're trying to solve but I think 
they proposed the wrong solution.
