Bug Description

I notice the following Bug on Ubuntu 12.04, Gnome Classic

1. Setup compiz to use the "Magnifier" (using the default settings) and any "Switcher" ("Ring Switcher", "Shift Switcher" or "Static Application Switcher").
2. Bring the switcher, choose a window and press Enter (or Esc to cancel).
3. The Magnifier appear on the screen (with a zoom of 4 levels).

I don't see any clashes in the key bindings between the Magnifier and the Switcher.

NOTE: The bug do not occur if a mouse button is pressed to choose the window (or when nothing is pressed, with the "Ring Switcher" or the "Static Application Switcher").

The following also reproduces the same issue for me:

Enable "scale" plugin.
Press the "initiate window picker" hotkey (shift+alt+up by default).
Press esc
The "Magnifier" is activated, even though it's hotkeys are totally unrelated.
