Bug Description

x86_64

An example of this behavior - I use Alt-Left to go back a page in my Firefox history. Sometimes, when I release the keys closely in time, the HUD engages. If I release one key after the other slowly it doesn't seem to happen.

It's not every time, but happens often enough to be noticable.
