Subject: Window switching keys don't seem to actually switch windows
Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.1-3
Severity: normal
I have alt+tab set to switch between windows. This used to work fine,
but now it doesn't (not sure which package version broke it..)
Now, when I hold down Alt, and then press tab, the window list appears -
so far so good.
Still holding alt, and pressing tab moves the hilight box through the
list of icons representing the windows. Still OK.
Releasing Alt, nothing happens. The window list is still on the screen,
and no window is given focus or raised.
In the "Window settings" configuration applet in Gnome, the only
relevant setting would seem to be:
Select windows when the mouse moves over them: not ticked
