Regression: ALT + Drag doesn't behave how it should

Here alt-dnd moves the active dialog, in any case nautilus didn't change, that's likely a compiz,unity side effect of the changes for the alt tapping for the unity hud

Yes, this will be another issue with the active grab that compiz creates when Alt is pressed, in order to detect taps.

I often use that alt+click to make symlinks to folders or executables.

Merged into lp:compiz-core at revision 3046
