[Inkscape-user] Alt key in tutorial

I have just installed 0.44 and am progressing through the Help->tutorials. I notice that all references to the Alt key actually require Ctrl+Alt to have the desired effect. e.g. Alt+drag doesn't work, but Ctrl+Alt+drag does. Is this a change in 0.44 that the tutorial has not yet reflected? Or is there some tuning that I have yet to do?
