This is a known, but rare issue we have been experiencing with libwnck. Given that you've encountered it, it means my attempt at removing the conditions that trigger it were not entirely unsuccessful.
The nature of this problem seems to be that wnck is not updating its internal window manager state information quickly enough to realize that you have given focus to another window.
My recommendation is to relaunch Quickshot and try to capture this window again. If it causes problems again, please post back and I will investigate the cause as best I can.
Thank you for letting us know that this issue has not been completely fixed. It will be placed high on the list of priorities for Quickshot 1.0.
