Links "clicked" with a touch screen are not loaded when chromium window is focused using alt+tab on linux

Reported by glaube...@live.com, Nov 2 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.75 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
www.phoronix.com

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open chromium and load a website (www.phoronix.com, for example)
2. open another program and use alt+tab to focus chromium window
3. use your touch screen to open a link from the website that you loaded in the step 1

What is the expected behavior?
Link is correctly loaded

What went wrong?
chromium downloads a file (html, php, etc) instead loads the link

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: Arch Linux
Flash Version: 27.0.0.183

This bug also affects the chromium-based browsers Opera and Vivaldi.

It sounds like for some reason Chrome is picking up an 'Alt' keydown event.

Was this caused by a recent update to your window manager/compositing system?

No. This is an old problem.
Labels: TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV Needs-Triage-M62 TE-Hardware-Dependency
The issue seems to be Linux touch screen specific. Hence, adding label TE-Hardware-Dependency as the device is not available at TE-India and also adding TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV and requesting someone from MTV team to please have a look into the issue.

Thanks...!!
