Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
The compiz application switcher does not behave correctly when I press the 'escape' key.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Press Alt-Tab to activate the application switcher. Hold down the Alt key.
2. Press Escape.
Expected result:
The application switcher should disappear, the window that was focused before Alt-Tab was pressed should retain focus. (This is what metacity does.)
Actual result:
The application switcher disappears (as expected), but the window that was selected at the time Escape was pressed gets the focus.
This was produced with the gutsy live CD on a Samsung X20 XVM 1730 V laptop (Intel 915 graphics controller). "Extra" desktop effects were enabled.
The shift switcher (Super-Tab) shows the same behaviour. I will file a separate bug report for that. Please mark as duplicate if applicable.
Thanks for your report.
