The reported bug is here : https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/118
Could you add a comment to help me to make it fixed by the Mate team ?

I see to workaround :
- Switch from Marco to Compiz : it's what we do at Hypra and we don't 
encounter this issue.

- Use ctrl+alt+escape or ctrl+alt+shift+escape : it should works but I'm 
on Mate 1.8 here, could you verify ?

Best regards.
