If focus is in another application (e.g. a terminal window) Blender ignores any modifier keys that are depressed when mouse clicks and drags are executed on the Blender window.
[update: this also happens with another Blender window created from Window -> New Window]

E.g. If focus is in another application and shift-mmb drag is executed in the 3d viewport, it ignores the shift modifier and treats it as a mmb drag (i.e. it should pan, but it rotates the viewport instead.) Same thing with shift left click in the 3d viewport, shift left click in the outliner, alt+click drags, etc.

I don't think this is window manager related; it does not happen with other applications (e.g. with gimp it registers correctly).

More info: the same thing happens with multiple Blender windows. Go to "Window -> New window" and make a second window; the same issue occurs between the two Blender windows. This makes using multiple windows very frustrating.
