I just want to add that wader2k is correct; you are supposed to be able to execute a sword swing (either fast or strong) while holding block. This action does not mean you can attack while at the same time blocking all incoming blows - it's just a convenience thing that you don't have to let go of block before you attack.
It has always worked for me. I checked it right now, and it's still working. I can stand there, holding block while I'm facing an enemy (no alt needed), and then hit LMB or RMB to execute an attack. It works just as well when facing multiple opponents. Why this has stopped working for you, wader2k, I don't know. I'm sorry. :(

I noticed now as I was playing that blocking and attacking doesn't seem to work. I think it has to do with the Riposte skill - once you've acquired this skill, attacking while blocking doesn't always work for me. Most of the time it does, but sometimes it just doesn't respond... it's still weird, though, that it seems to be constant for you.

I have had similar issue although it bounces back and forth. There are times when I am in combat and in my block position that I can't attack, and other times I can. However, When I am blocking and L/RMB do not initiate attacks, I can spam the LMB and it will activate my Riposte as soon as the sword icon flashes, no timing required.
