Bug Description

Here's how to reproduce the bug:

1. open two windows, say WIN1 and WIN2
2. ALT-TAB (or SUPER-TAB) from WIN1 and WIN2
3. press ALT twice: to bring up the HUD and to hide it back
4. the focus is now on WIN2, although it is still below WIN1
5. press ALT twice again: the focus is back to WIN1

If you try to repeat the ALT-ALT trick, the focus is not moved away anymore after that. If you change focus with mouse (via launcher or by clicking inside other window), everything is fine.
