Window switcher freezes with 3 finger tap and hold

[Randy]

Sometimes the window switcher will pop up and then become unresponsive for a few seconds. I believe this happens with a three finger tap and hold (because it happens when I am using two finger scrolling and a third finger could easily brush the touchpad), but I have ever been able to replicate the bug on purpose. I am using a Synaptic pad with multi-touch.

The expected behavior is that dragging to the left or right with three fingers after the switcher appears will move the highlighted window choosing cursor (the best description I can think of) to the left or right and then releasing the touch will immediately switch to the selected window. Instead I must wait for the switcher to time out, because the highlighted window choosing cursor will not move.

I can make the switcher go away with a right click outside the switcher box.

Also affects Ubuntu 14.04.2.

Same problem here - but the most frustrating thing is that I can't disable this three finger tapping switcher function
