They simply do nothing. Neither in 2.3 nor trunk. Also, when using alt orders with vtols without a valid target, they get the 'assign to sensor' icon for some reason.

Cursory review suggests that this is caused by your window manager intercepting the Alt+click signal. Anyone have an idea for an alternate combo?

The "assign to sensor" cursor is intentional, as we do not have a "patrol" cursor (it's also the "observe" cursor).

If it's the window manager, it should work in (SDL, not QT) fullscreen mode.

Erm, this is a flaw of the windowing system - there's nothing I can do about it... I think it should be closed as "external".

This works for me on KDE, with KWin. And was working in every beta.

So, some window managers stupidly use alt for whatever, and it doesn't get into the game window. This problem will not only affect Warzone, but any program that wants to use alt as modifier.
