Bug Description
Reproduce:
Open two e.g. two Firefox windows. Use alt+section (key above tab, § on my Swedish keyboard layout, ` on US layouts) to switch between the two different windows.
What happens:
A graphical window switcher is shown, with an orange glow around the window not currently focused. You release alt+section, since the orange halo leads you to beleive the window you want to switch to is selected. This is false -- you are instead taken back to the window you had focused when pressing alt+section.
If I hold alt and press section again, the orange glow will move to the right _together with the window it was highlighting_. After doing this, window selection graphics work "properly". This means I have to double tap section in order to switch windows within an application.
Also, if I type alt+section really, really fast, the switcher window does not appear, and then the window switching works as expected.
Expected behavior:
1. Alt+section should highlight the window that will actually be selected.
2. I should not need to hold alt and double tap section to change to the next window within an application. One section key press should be enough.
