Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Using 3.8.2 if you open a place with the keyboard it only display when you unpress the key, it's confusing if you keep your finger on the modifier key

Unfortunately, the branch didn't fix the problem, and created other regressions (the SUPER-<x> shortcuts were all broken).

It's a compiz issue first, assigning to sam to reflect what should be done.

Right, implicit keyboard grab fiasco. The action only gets terminated when you release the key in this case. However the upstream change was rejected because it is too risky, so I'm not sure what to do about this one.

I'm pretty sure the design here is supposed to be this:

<super> - show launcher regardless
<super> - held, show launcher, do NOT show dash or places, show shortcuts
<super> - press and release, do NOT show shortcuts, show dash and places
