Description Andrey 2020-12-02 15:11:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
Different X apps in Wayland session start behave strange when Alt+Tab to them - mostly, mouse scroll doesn't work properly.
To make it work, Esc or any other key press is enough.
It seems Alt release event doesn't occur on Alt+Tab switch to XWayland windows.

Sample apps suffered: FF, Qt Creator.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
switch with Alt+Tab from any Wayland window to FF X window and try to mouse scroll there

OBSERVED RESULT
Scrolling doesn't work.
Instead, if browsing history is present for the tab, it will go back/forth by pages in the history on mouse wheel rotation.

EXPECTED RESULT
Scrolling works as usual.

keyboard_interface: Always update modifiers cache

We send modifiers to the active client when they change, and when we
focus an existing client we send the cached state.

For this reason it's important we always update our internal store of
modifiers regardless of whether a surface is currently active.

Unit test is adopted accordingly.
