After reopening the game after alt tabbing, keyboard inputs are randomized. So are some UI elements such as clicking on a chest. You press D to go right and instead the game selects your artillery targeting gadget, stuff like that. The game seems to, uh, for lack of a better term, remember the real keybindings if you press the keys repeatedly, but not always. I am mostly using default keybindings with (from memory) something like three changes.

I have no mods active except the default ones like Quality. Linux Mint 21.3, using X11.

Gnome and Cinnamon sometimes do funky things with the alt key. I'd recommend going through your keybinds in the cinnamon settings to see if anything there is using alt, and disabling them (except alt+tab and alt+f4).
