I was also hit by this bug when upgrading to 3.8. The two possible
solutions are:
1) switch to the "Super" key, which is now the default modifier for most
window-related actions,
2) install gnome-tweak-tools and change such modifer (in the "Windows"
section).

Since this is clearly a design choice, it will probably never be
"fixed", so I think the bug can be closed.
